- On Christmas Eve 1811, HMS ‘St. George’ and ‘Defense’ ran aground off Jutland during a hurricane; nearly 1,400 people, including civilians, lost their lives.
- Since 1992, the St. George Shipwreck Museum in Thorsminde has been documenting the disaster with numerous artefacts recovered from the wreck of the ‘St. George’.
- The largest exhibits are the guns, the anchor and the 11.5-metre-high rudder, which was found by chance in 2003 and now stands as a memorial in the museum.

- The Russian corvette ‘Soobrazitelny’ fired pyrotechnic flares near Gedser, which narrowly missed a Danish Fennec helicopter.  
- Denmark has described the incident as unacceptable and summoned the Russian ambassador; Russia accuses the helicopter of carrying out provocative manoeuvres.  
- The incident is part of the tense security situation in the western Baltic Sea; sailors are advised to keep their distance from warships and to exercise increased vigilance.

- Flakfortet in the Øresund has been up for sale again since January 2026; the price has fallen from 74.75 to 42 million Danish kroner.  
- The artificial fortress island is a listed building; any alterations require planning permission, and public access remains contractually guaranteed.  
- Flakfortet is a historic coastal fort and a popular sailing destination with a marina, restaurants and facilities, whose future is closely tied to heritage protection requirements.

- In Hobro, Ægirs Brygge – a 185-metre-long floating jetty – is being built to serve as a breakwater, a promenade and an extension to the marina.  
- The aim is to provide better-protected moorings, a higher quality of visitor experience and, in the long term, a wider range of services for sailors and other users at Nedre Strandvej.  
- Approval from the Norwegian Coastal Administration has been in place since February 2025, and installation of the jetties is planned for the second half of 2027.

- At Assens North Quay, 80,000 tonnes of natural stone are expected to be loaded for three new stone reefs until November 2026; the quay will remain closed to visiting vessels.
- 18 coastal freighters will deliver rock from Norway; daily loading of barges will cause noise and heavy goods traffic in the marina between 6 am and 7 pm.
- The reefs off Helnæs North/South and Lyø are intended to restore destroyed habitats; a water depth of at least 4–5 metres will remain above the stone reefs for yachts.

- DF1 is showing the MareTV episode on the South Funen Archipelago, with its more than 50 islands, mild climate and coastal landscape shaped by tourism.  
- The programme profiles Ærø’s seaside culture with its colourful huts, tobacco cultivation and cigar factory, the off-the-grid lifestyle on Hjortø, and the Ring Andersen shipyard.  
- The programme also features Laurits Kallan, a student studying navigation in Marstal who lives on his own sailing boat.

- Møns Klint is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, where 70-million-year-old limestone is spectacularly exposed, bringing the Earth’s history to life.  
- The Geocenter offers an interactive exhibition on natural history and is the starting point for walking trails, steps down to the beach and the Dronningestolen.  
- Stege is the main town on Møn, with good amenities, several harbours for visiting boats and numerous shops and restaurants on Storegade.

- Rubjerg Knude Fyr was built in 1900 on a shifting dune, 90 metres above sea level, with a range of 25 nautical miles.
- The shifting dune gradually buried the surrounding area and the building; in 1968, the light had to be extinguished, leaving only the tower visible.
- When the cliffs threatened to engulf the tower, it was moved 80 metres inland on rails in 2016, thereby securing it for the time being.

- Møns Klint, with its white chalk cliffs reaching heights of up to 128 metres, is a defining feature of the island of Møn and offers sweeping views across the Baltic Sea.
- Klintholm Havn is strategically situated in the western Baltic Sea and serves as a stopover for destinations such as Öresund, Rügen, Poland and the Småland waterway.
- The harbour offers visitors berths with electricity, water and toilet facilities, as well as a petrol station, a bar, shopping facilities and sandy beaches on both sides.

- Since the start of the season, the Danish police have stepped up checks on sailors and pleasure craft in Alssund and penalise offences immediately.  
- A common excuse is ignorance of the regulations, such as the ban on jet skis in the Dyvig anchorage at the northern end of Alssund.  
- Checks include proof of insurance, life jackets, sailing and light rules and compliance with the 0.5 per mille limit.
