The Stralsund Waterways and Shipping Office (until 2015: Stralsund Waterways and Shipping Office ) (WSA Stralsund) is a waterways and shipping office in Germany. It belongs to the service area of ​​the General Directorate for Waterways and Shipping , formerly Waterways and Shipping Directorate North .

The Stralsund Waterways and Shipping Office emerged in October 1990 from parts of the former GDR Seafaring Office (SFA) and the former GDR Sea Hydrographic Service (SHD).

The reform of the Waterways and Shipping Administration (WSV), which has been aimed for since the 2010s, provides for the two waterways and shipping offices of Stralsund and Lübeck to be merged into a new waterway and shipping office for the Baltic Sea as a so-called Revieramt, although both locations are to be retained.
