2. An overview of the completion of the Outer Crouch Buoyage Changes - This has been dealt with in previous weeks stage by stage but is now described in complete in one notice. I have 'shopped' a chart to show the revised arrangement and have a two page pdf showing the final image and on the reverse or page 2 full details of the complete changes. By going to: Downloads (second item) you can download my pdf or by going to the other above quoted pages you can download the CHA image. Pick which you prefer

Offshore trials will cover an area of approx. 1.0nm diameter centred around position 52° 28.15’N, 01° 48.65’E (approx. 0.5nm SW of the East Newcombe Light Buoy). The trials are anticipated to be spread over a period of approximately 4 weeks and will be subject to favourable weather conditions. During this period the USV is expected to undertake numerous transits. The USV name is ‘Intrepid Barracuda’ and will be remotely controlled by a USV ‘Pilot’. The vessel is capable of working 24/7, it has AIS, Navigation lights, a radar reflector and has a yellow superstructure ??? (see the photo which is in the Local List on the above quoted page). The USV will transit to and from the offshore area from the Royal Norfolk and Suffolk Yacht Club in Lowestoft Outer Harbour. When transiting Harbour areas and approaches the USV will be escorted by safety boat ‘Eastern Horizon 2’ or ‘Norfolk Swift’. The Safety Boat will be monitoring VHF Ch14 during harbour transits. The safety boat will be in close attendance of the USV when within approx. 0.5 nautical miles of the Harbour entrance. Please contact Lowestoft Port Control, VHF Ch 14, Tel. 01502 572286, if additional information is required. Chartlet can be found in the local list.
