Oxelösund
Oxelösund is a very busy harbour that used to be extensively used for the mining and melting industry. It is hosting a large refinery.
The sailing from Sotckholm or Södertälje through the Trosa archipelago is very scenic and numerous natutal harbours are on the way (Ringsön, Hävringe...).
The Femöre fortress was constructed in 1962 and equiped with artillery to protect the harbour. It is no longer in use and can be visited. It is located next to the Fiskhamnens marina, and 3 km from tyhe Oxelösund marina.

Getting there
By commercial transport
Oxelösund is 15 kilometres south of Nyköping located on the E4 highway and therefore very well connected with Stockholm by bus and train. In addition, the Nyköping airtport of Skavsta is the Ryan air hub south west of Stockholm, making Oxelösund a perfect place to embark a crew.
By own boat
There are two marinas, the Oxelösunds marina with 100 visitor berths on stern buoy, with a depth of 1.2 to 2.8 m and full service including a boat refuelling station. Few hundred meters from it is the Fiskhamnens marina with 15 to 20 sites, stern buoy, with a depth of 2.5-4.5 m.
