Abstract

THE LITTLE BELT BRIDGE AND INTERNATIONAL LAW By ERIK BRÜEL I. I. Topography of the Belt. - The Little Belt - the most westerly of the three natural passages which connect the Baltic with the adjacent sea - is the channel between Jutland - Als on the one side and Funen - on the other, delimited from the Categat by a line aebelø-Bjørnsknude and from the Baltic by a line Pøls-Huk in Als to Vejsnxs Nakke in ae:røt). The width of the Belt varies from about 700 m at its narrowest point to about 30 km at the southern outfall. The width of the approaches is, however, in certain places - thus especially in the passage between Aaro and the coast of Jutland (Aarosund) - as little as 300 m. To the difficulties which the narrow width of the approaches in connection with the highly winding riverlike course of the Belt creates for larger ships must be added, in the case of smaller craft, the strong and erratic current, just as the conditions of the wind inter alia on account of the coasts being covered with wood, are often capricious.
