UKHO Permanent/Temporary/Preliminary notices:
1. New Editions of ADMIRALTY Charts to be published 22 February 2024 - Chart 106 - England - East Coast, Cromer to Smiths Knoll. 1:75,000; Chart 108 England - East Coast, Approaches to The Wash. 1:75,000; Wells-next-the-Sea. 1:30,000 - Includes significant safety-related information as follows: amendments to depths from the latest British Government surveys.
2. ENGLAND - East Coast - Depths. - One slight reduction of depth right on the line of the Sunk/Black Deep deep water channel. Obviously the PLA monitors the depth of that channel rigorously. At 15.7m unlikely to hinder leisure craft but don’t linger (summat might come along!
!
3. ENGLAND - South Coast - Depths. Drying height. - Five reductions of depth in the Eastern Terminal of Dover Harbour where we ought not to be and three reductions of depth at the Western side of the Harbour. Two are with ample water alongside the Cruise Terminal but the last reduction which is of 0.1m is very adjacent to the starboard hand mark marking the entrance to the Tidal (Yacht) harbour. Do not cut the corner without enough tide! Two images:
4. BELGIUM - Wrecks. - Thirteen revised depths over wrecks in Belgium waters. Surprisingly 12 of the depths are less than previously recorded despite 10 of then being previously swept. Five of the wrecks are located in the West Hinder TSS, their approaches or adjacent. All are in deep water and will not hinder a leisure craft. Four wrecks are around the approaches to Oostende. One at 1.4m on the edge of the Stroombank is worth noting in particular. The final four wrecks are on the approaches to Zeebrugge and are previously marked (obviously) and are unlikely to hinder leisure craft. Three images. (Quite odd some many were revised to less water especially when so many had already been swept. Many of the revisions were more than 2m+ reductions of water over the wrecks. But for all but one there was enough water fr over us)
5. ENGLAND - East Coast - Depths. - One reduction of depth to 2.4m just east of the Kingsferry Bridge, River Swale.
6. ENGLAND - East Coast - Automatic Identification System - AIS has been removed from the B1 lit buoy in the Wash. The B1 buoy is a yellow special buoy marking the apex of the shipping anchorage at the approaches to Boston.
7. BELGIUM - Depths. Buoyage. - Two new yellow special lit buoys between Fairy Bank and the Noordhinder – that’s west of the Noord Hinder South TSS. There is also an adjustment of depth east of the West Hinder bank. Unlikely to hinder leisure craft.
8. ENGLAND - South Coast - Buoy. - This is a temporary Notice advising us that the Special yellow lit buoy just outside and north of the Western Harbour entrance of Dover.is currently unlit. That marks the well know wreck.
9. ENGLAND - East Coast - Depths. - Two reductions of depth in the River Stour, one west of the Parkeston starboard hand buoy, the other off the Trinity House Pier. At 4m+ unlikely to hinder leisure craft.
10. ENGLAND - East Coast - Buoyage. - Change of top mark (yellow ‘X’) and light characteristics for the DZ3 buoy which marks part of the western side of the Holbeach Firing Practice Area in the Wash.
11. ENGLAND - East Coast - Lights. - Deletion of three shore based lights alongside in the River Thames: one at jetty of the Thames Refinery just east of the Thames Barrier, two also deleted at the jetty off the Greenwich Power Station.

1. Surveyed Depths – Harwich Deep Water Channel – Update 2 - Mariners are advised that hydrographic surveys have identified reduced depths (minimum 15.6m below chart datum) in the Harwich Deep Water Channel. See the survey data that are included the Notice : Goto: Notices to Mariners, click on the Local Notices and you will find a button that will let you download six chartlets. These are all of the Harwich DW Channel.
2. The Swale – Queenborough Harbour - Diving Operations & Vessel Recovery Work - work to recover a sunken vessel in Queenborough Harbour is due to take place on 19th February 2024 between 08:00 and 20:00. Diving operations and the subsequent boat recovery will be performed from the multi-cat vessel “Medway Hunter” who will maintain a listening watch on VHF Channel 74 at all times. Operations will take place in the approximate location highlighted below, all vessels transiting Queenborough Harbour are requested to pass with extreme caution and reduce their speed and wash accordingly. There is a chartlet included in the notices and can be seen at the above quoted web page on the local list. The recovery is the other side of the Swale to the Queenborough AT and to the south. Admiralty Chart 2572 Refers Further information can be obtained from Medway VTS on VHF Channel 74 (Callsign “Medway VTS”) or telephone 0151 949 6148 or 0151 949 6650. (Recorded Lines)
3. PORT OF GREAT YARMOUTH - Haven Bridge Non Operational - Update to NtM 07 2024 - Haven Bridge has developed a malfunction and is now out of service until further notice. Peel Ports are working with the bridge owner Norfolk County Council to resolve the issues as swiftly as possible.
4. Sunken Vessel - River Crouch - the sunken vessel known locally as “The Beach Hut” has been recovered and placed ashore.
5. London Array Offshore Wind Farm - the Jack-up Vessel “Wind Server” provided by Ziton has now completed works and departed site today Monday 12th February 2024 at 15:55 local.
That's it. I am just doing the upload of the Local list so that will take 5 minutes.
