haben, etwa für Container- und 
Massengutfrachter oder auch 
Kreuzfahrtschiffe wie die „Queen 
Mary“, die Fahrtzeiten und -wege 
genauestens planen müssen, wenn 
sie gezeitenabhängige Häfen wie 
Hamburg unter Ausnutzung des 
maximal möglichen Tiefgangs 
ansteuern. 
Bei extremen Wetterlagen sind diese 
Prognosen noch entscheidender 
als sonst. So sorgen die BSH- 
Sturmflutwarnungen dafür, dass die 
Öffentlichkeit rechtzeitig alarmiert 
wird und die Einsatzzentralen alle 
notwendigen Schutzvorkehrungen 
einleiten können.

Latest forecasts + warnings 
2007 
26 storm surge warnings (North Sea 
14, Baltic Sea 12); 
3 negative surge warnings, with wa 
ter levels more than 1 m below 
the mean water level of the Baltic 
Sea; 
Easier access to storm surge infor 
mation on the BSH’s website; 
Issue of a tidal calendar for the Ger 
man Bight and of tidal tables for 
the European waters; 
Issue of 90 ice reports and 40 ice 
charts; 
Further development of the opera 
tional prediction models. 
Shipping, harbours, companies, 
the coastal population, and tourists 
rely on them: the latest forecasts 
and warnings Issued by the BSH for 
the German North and Baltic Sea 
coasts. Water levels are predicted 
several times a day. The BSH’s 
information about tides, sea states, 
water temperatures and, In winter, ice 
coverage, are equally accurate and 
up-to-date. In the maritime transport 
business, this may have considerable 
financial Implications, e.g. for 
container vessels and bulk carriers, or 
cruise ships like the “Queen Mary” 
which, because of their large draught, 
must plan ahead precisely when 
approaching tidal harbours like 
Hamburg. 
In extreme weather situations, these 
forecasts are even more Important 
than usual. The BSH’s storm surge 
warnings alert the population in time 
and enable emergency headquarters 
to respond immediately and take 
appropriate measures.
