description
Small port of about 1200 inhabitants, Paamiut, formerly Frederikshåb, is a good alternative if the ports further south are caught in the ice.
Approach: Carefully follow the alignment as the entrance channel is not straightforward. The visitor's quay is the northernmost one. It is wooden and easily accessible. The diesel/gasoline service station is located at its extreme north. Make sure to protect your side opposite the quay with fenders as it is not uncommon for a fishing boat to come alongside during the night.
Onshore, you will find two supermarkets, a small hospital, a post office, and an airport.
A second diesel/gasoline service station is located at the quay under the storage tanks.

Want to know how the wind score works? Then you should read this explanation.
The wind forecasts come from yr.no (Norwegian Meteorological Institute), and was last updated 12 minutes ago (Monday 22 June 06:14 AM). The next night score shows you the worst hour between 22:00 and 08:00 the next night. We recommend that you check multiple sources for wind forecasts. windy.com is a good website to show larger wind systems.
The safe wind directions for this harbour has been decided by an algorithm, based on how elevated the land around the harbour is. It's mostly correct, but sometimes the underlying data about elevation levels is not good enough to make correct decisions. It's a great help to other if you can validate or adjust the safe wind directions. You can see the data used by the algorithm to decide the safe wind directions by clicking here.
