UKHO Permanent, Preliminary and Temporary Notices

1. ENGLAND - East Coast - Wreck. Depth. - This is pretty important. This is a new wreck just west off the bank of the Whiting and the symbol used means ‘Wreck over which the exact depth of water is unknown but is thought to be 28 metres or less, and which is considered dangerous to surface Navigation’. Note the sounding at the spot of the wreck is deleted which was 8+m. We might be able to consider that the wreck was lying at 8m depth especially as no urgent wreck marking has been laid but that cannot be certain;
2. ENGLAND - South East Coast - Depths. Wrecks. - This was pretty tedious! - A ‘major’ NtoM: 23 new depths!!! and 4 new wreck off and around the North Foreland and the Falls. But the least sounding is 8 metres so nothing unlikely to hinder leisure craft;
3. ENGLAND - East Coast - Depths. - Four reduced soundings west of the Thames Barrier, three reasonably close, the fourth in Blackwall Reach.

I love a Bank Holiday - never many on a Bank Holiday!

1. River Crouch – Burnham Fairway No 7 Light Buoy has been reported unlit;
2. Ipswich - Diving Operations in New Cut - diving operations will be taking place in and around the tidal barrier construction site from the 22/8 through to the 30th August 2018. These works are to remove the temporary scour mats. The works will be marked by dive flags and a safety boat will be on standby to manage the traffic. Image can be found (as can all the UKHO NtMs) at: http://www.crossingthethamesestuary.com/page9.html - this one in the temporary list;
3. Port of Wells - dredging.

That's it.
