One to add:

RIVER THAMES - HALFWAY REACH - DIVING OPERATIONS - On or around 5th March 2024, marine contractors working on behalf of City of London Corporation will commence diving operations at the upriver end of Hanson No.4 Jetty in Halfway Reach. Diving operations will take place around the times of slack water.
Works are expected to last approximately 3 days. Diving Operations will take place from the Multi-Cat “Emilia D”, and works will include, but not be limited to, lifting operations and installation of grouting lines. Requests for vessels to ‘proceed with caution’ or ‘pass at slow speed’ will be made by London VTS on VHF Ch.14, in accordance with the Port of London Authority’s Port Information Guide, under ‘London VTS’, Section 4. When diving is taking place the dive platform will display International Code Flags ‘Romeo Yankee (RY)’, ‘Alpha (A)’ and a red flag in accordance with Byelaw 33 as appropriate:

The Chartlet shows location of works (on the Local List of the usual webpage): Further details will be broadcast by London VTS on VHF Channel 14 as required.
