1. Paglesham Fairway No 1 Lighted Buoy, River Roach - the Paglesham Fairway No 1 Lighted Buoy in approximate position: 51° 35.825’N, 000° 49.167’E is off station for repairs.
2. Removal of Power Cables, River Roach, Rochford - there will be a Temporary Unlit Yellow Special Marker Buoy laid on the 18th September 2020 in approximate position: 51° 34.778’N, 000° 44.546’E in conjunction with NTM No 39 of 2020 (see last week). When navigating in the area Mariners are kindly requested to proceed with extreme caution.
3. Crouch Lighted Buoy - the Crouch Lighted Buoy in approximate position: 51° 37.660’N, 000° 56.591’E is back on station.
4. LOWESTOFT APPROACHES – SHOALING NORTH EAST OF HARBOUR ENTRANCE - Mariners and Port Users are advised of an area of shoaling approx. 700 metres North East of Lowestoft Harbour entrance, approx. position 52˚ 28.4’N, 001˚ 45.9’E. Least recorded depth in this area is 3.6m below Admiralty Chart Datum. The area of shoaling is within the white occulting sector of the Port Entry Light (PEL). This light is an aid to navigation but should not be solely relied upon for an indication of vessel position. Deeper water is available in the Eastern side of the approach channel keeping within the white sectors of the approach PEL. It is planned to address this shoaling over the current dredging campaign. Depths will then be verified via a post dredge survey. Notice will be provided once depths have been restored. Mariners and Navigators are requested to navigate with caution when in Lowestoft Harbour approaches, using all means available to check and verify vessel position to ensure that the required under keel clearance is available. - Image showing position can be seen in the Temporary list (and downloaded) at: Notices to Mariners
