All directional bearings are true unless otherwise stated. By some of the place names there is a red mark which indicates that a harbour sketch has been included. Each chapter contains an index of charts.
Due to siltation or dredging, depths cannot always be guaranteed. The harbour plans are based on surveys produced by NHS. Volume 1 is an essential supplement to the other volumes of Den norske los and should always be kept on board. More general information for mariners can be found in Den norske los, volume 1. For those who wish to know more of Svalbard, there are short articles on, for example, Svalbard's history, public administration and services, information for visitors, climate, flo a and fauna, geology and fisherie. In addition to the sailing directions users will find more information of general interest that can be important to navigation in these arctic regions in Chapter I. The Norwegian Lights List, List of Norwegian Sailing Marks and Symbols and Abbreviations used on Norwegian charts must be considered essential supplements to charts and Sailing Directions, and therefore should always be kept together. The purpose of the Sailing Directions is mainly to provide information which cannot be found on charts, in lights lists or marks lists. In the newest charts of Svalbard there are source diagrams which show the areas that are covered by modern surveys. The reader should take special note of the content expressed in some chapters. Amendments to these areas in the book will be necessary when each new survey beco- mes available. As large sea areas have not been sounded due to financial reasons, the description of the north easterly and easterly areas of Svalbard in particular are essentially based on experiences.
This English version has been largely translated by Roy Cooney who has previously translated publications for the NHS and UKHO.
This edition, as previously, is a joint project between The Norwegian Polarinstitute (NP) and Norwegian Hydrographic Service (NHS). This book's revision is based on earlier editions and received reports. In 1990 it was reprinted with reported changes and corrections. Volume 7 covers the area Svalbard and Jan Mayen and was first published in 1988.
In 1914 eight volumes were published but were then adapted to six volumes in 1955 when Den norske los were published regularly. Each booklet covered one part of the coast, and the firs IdefjordenJomfruland was issued in 18701871. In 1866, sailing directions were collected in one volume, The Norwegian Pilot and issued in eight booklets.
