Losinjski Kanal extends 13 miles NW along the E side of Otok Losinj from the vicinity of Otocici Orjule. The N end of this channel is shallow and converges to form Osorski Tjesnac, a narrow passage, which leads between Otok Losinj and the SE side of Otok Cres and connects the head of Losinjski Kanal with the E side of Kvarner.
This passage, which is 150m long and only 12m wide, is available to small vessels with drafts of less than 3m and is spanned by a swing bridge.
There are strong and irregular currents in the N part of the passage due to the considerable differences of water levels between Losinjski Kanal and Kvarner.
