Swedish Series Bottenhavet S Södra

The Swedish recreational boating chart set Bottenhavet S Södra is the southernmost of the three Swedish chart sets for the Gulf of Bothnia and the direct link to the Stockolm Norra chart set. This map set covers the coastal area from Sundsvall in the north to Öregrund (near Forsmark) in the south.

This map set is mainly at a scale of 1:50000.

For the approaches to the ports of Gälve and Sönderhamn in addition to the more detailed maps more detailed maps are available. For the overview there are 3 oversewers at a scale of 1:250000.

Updating - Update

The official Swedish recreational boat charts are reissued at irregular intervals. Mostly the intervals are between 2 and 4 years. It is possible to update the charts via the website of the Swedish Maritime Administration using NFS.

Our recommendation

The Swedish recreational boat charts are definitely the best products for this region. However we would still recommend that you carry a harbour handbook for the region as this will make it easier to find harbours and anchorages. We would recommend the book Hamnguiden 8 8 which is only in Swedish but has very nice plans and aerial photographs. Official Swedish recreational boat charts
