1. RIVER MEDWAY- SHEERNESS HARBOUR – SHEERNESS DOCKS – NEW “ROYAL BRIDGE” PONTOON – NAVIGATION LIGHTS - the Retracting RoRo Pontoon between Sheerness No. 1 & No. 2 berths known as the “Royal Bridge” has been replaced with a new Fixed RoRo Pontoon. The existing navigation lights consisting of 2 Fixed red lights in a vertical line in position: 51°26.58’N 000° 44.59’E has been removed and replaced by 2 sets of 2 Fixed red lights in a vertical line marking the upstream and downstream corners that extend out into the River Medway of the new fixed pontoon, as this extends approximately 10m further out from the berth frontage than the old pontoon. The images and positions can be found on the above page in the Temporary List.
2. Port of Wells - dredging.
3. Blakeney Harbour Entrance - entering Blakeney Harbour should note that significant changes are currently occurring at the harbour entrance. Mariners should note the aerial photo (the same page in the Temporary List) of the harbour entrance looking North at LW, taken on May 5th 2019. If the photo is expanded, harbour entrance buoys number 1, 2, and 3 are marked.
Vessels should pass close to Harbour Entrance buoy number 1 (starboard) and continue heading SE for approx 50M before turning SW to Harbour Entrance buoy number 2 (starboard). This buoy should be passed closely either to port or to starboard and then head directly towards Harbour Entrance buoy number 3 (starboard), and onward following the buoys heading South.
We are closely monitoring changes in this area and will keep Mariners advised of further changes as they occur. Mariners entering the harbour for the first time are strongly advised to seek pilotage information by phoning 07771597985.
That's it.
