Week 2 adds 4 new NtMs to add to the one already from Week 2.

Permanent

1. One reduction of depth in the middle of the Princes Channel but as 7.3m it won't hinder leisure craft (and shouldn't be in the middle either!);
2. Dutchland - NETHERLANDS - Approaches to Europoort - Fouls. Wreck.- eeeeek! 14 Fouls, a small reduction over a wreck and the deletion of single foul! Many if not most is much deeper and further out to encounter a location to anchor but there might be a few;
3. NETHERLANDS - Westerschelde - Vlissingen - Signal station at the harbour entrance is deleted;
4. NETHERLANDS - Approaches to Vlissingen - Buoyage. Temporary buoyage due to dredging off the Kaapduinen channel to Vlissingen.

Temporary

A glut from the Medway!

1. RIVER MEDWAY– SALTPAN REACH, ISLE OF GRAIN LNG TERMINAL JETTIES No. 8 & 10 REMINDER OF VESSEL EXCLUSION ZONES *(GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR NAVIGATION No.13) - keep out of the way!;
2. Medway - Mooring Buoy No.53 – Short Reach – Off Station **- so off station, it's sunk - temporary small 'pellet' buoy in place;
3. Medway Valley Crossing - work taking place to construct a new road bridge over the River Medway connecting the A228 on the West bank to the A229 on the East bank. ***Reduction of air draught to 4.4 HAT. See the image and details;
4. The Swale - UNMARKED OBSTRUCTION in Faversham Creek close to the shore line between Buoys No.5 and No.7.
5. Port of Wells - dredging in the harbour is restarting.

6. And a new one today - The Crouch light buoy is unlit.

The Forum Police have obviously deleted my signature so if you want to see the images see: http://www.crossingthethamesestuary.com/page9.html
