1. ENGLAND - East Coast - Foul. Buoyage. - One new ‘ships’ buoy and one moved in conjunction with the removal of the adjacent FOUL area in Gravesend Reach, River Thames.
2. ENGLAND - East Coast - Depths. Buoy. - Six reductions of depth north and south approaches to Lowestoft and the moving of the South Corton south cardinal buoy. None of these are new data, rather is a tidying up of changes on the new Small Craft Charts which had been formerly notified in weeks 43, 44 and 46 last year. For simplicity I have redrawn three images illustrating these changes (which should also be read in conjunction with Notice 88(P) earlier this year). It will be good that Small Craft Charts will be updated daily in the future.
3. ENGLAND - East Coast - Depths. - One reduction of depth in the Northfleet Hope reach of the River Thames but at over 10 metres unlikely to hinder leisure craft.

1. GREENWICH REACH TO LOWER POOL - FILMING OPERATIONS - Filming operations will take place in Greenwich Reach in the vicinity of the disused Deptford Power Station Jetty between Sunday 16th January 2022 and Thursday 20th January 2022 between the hours of 17:00 and 03:00 daily. To support filming operations SCHELDEMOND II will be spudded off the AHOY Centre, Tug FELIX will tow a flat top pontoon and will hold position upriver of Greenwich Ship Tier, within the two hatched areas on the chart extract (See in the Local list at Notices to Mariners). Lighting equipment will be positioned aboard the SCHELDEMOND II and the flat top pontoon, with lighting equipment angled towards the shore. Vessels involved in the filming operations will not impeded safe passage for vessels operating to or from Deptford Creek.
Greenwich Reach – Greenwich Power Station Jetty - Filming operations will also take place in Greenwich Reach in the vicinity of the disused Greenwich Power Station Jetty on Thursday 20th January 2022 from 17:00 until Friday 21st January 2022 at 03:00. This will involve Tug FELIX towing a flat top pontoon, holding position off the jetty with lighting equipment also angled towards the shore.
Lower Pool – King Henry’s Wharf - Additional filming operations will be taking place in the Lower Pool by King Henry’s Wharf between Sunday 23rd January 2022 and Thursday 27th January 2022 between the hours of 17:00 and 03:00 daily.
To support the filming operations at King Henry’s Wharf two barges with lighting equipment will be moored on Wapping Pier and on Lower Gun Wharf Barge Mooring. Lighting equipment will be angled towards the shore. Additional vessels will also be involved in filming operations at this site, including; motor vessel ALISON, camera vessel SCHELDEMOND II and three safety launches; ECHO LIMA, LIMA LIMA 1 and BRAVO LIMA. Requirements to proceed with caution or at slow speed will be made in accordance with the procedure set out in the Port of London Authority’s Port Information Guide, under ‘London VTS’, ‘Section 4’. Vessels navigating within past these operations, are to maintain a continuous watch on
VHF Channel 14. Further details will be broadcast by London VTS on VHF Channel 14.
2. CONSULTATION ON THE PROPOSED DISCONTINUATION OF NAVIGATION MARKS - Peel Ports London Medway is planning to discontinue the following navigation marks:
• The Cant - 'D' Beacon (unlit) approximately 1nm South of MAC buoys 5/6
• Sheerness Harbour - Grain Light (QW) just South of Grain outfall channel
• Sharfleet Creek (East & Western ends) - Beacons 7&8 (unlit) ex Admiralty beacons
• Loden Hope - West Point Beacon (unlit)
• Swale – Long Reach - Codds Creek Beacon
• Bee Ness Buoy (Fl G 5s).
The above-mentioned proposal will be subject to a consultation period that will run until 7th February 2022. Comments and queries should be sent to: AllMedwayMarineManagers@peelports.com. Following the consultation period all comments received will be assessed, the Port of Sheerness (as the Local Lighthouse Authority) will make it’s decision and any proposed change will be promulgated by a further Notice to Mariners.
3. THE SWALE – FERRY REACH - KINGSFERRY BRIDGE - Closure - due to scheduled maintenance work, Kingsferry Bridge will need to remain in the “down position” between the following times resulting in no lifts being possible.
Sunday 30/01/2022 (17:00) – Monday 31/01/2022 (04:00) Track renewal on the local railway between Swale and Kemsley will run between 28.01.22 and 31.01.22 and will involve removal of worn components at this particular section of the railway. Network Rail will be removing worn rail, ballast and sleepers and installing all new components with the use of engineering trains to haul out scrap. Bridge closure is required to allow theses trains to exit the site. Admiralty Chart Number 2572 refers. Further information may be obtained from Medway VTS on VHF Channel 74, call sign “Medway VTS” or telephone 0151 949 6148 or 0151 949 6650 or from Kingsferry Bridge on VHF Channel 10.
4. PORT OF GREAT YARMOUTH - Haven Bridge Mechanical Fault - due to mechanical issues Haven Bridge is currently unable to lift for vessels. Peel Ports are working with the bridge owner Norfolk County Council to resolve the issues as swiftly as possible. Taht is dated 11th January. I don't know if it is still defective.
5. Port of Wells is dredging
6. Port of Great Yarmouth - O&M Campus Construction works - site investigation activity will be undertaken within Great Yarmouth River Port commencing on Wednesday 12th January 2022 for a period of 10 days. Works will be performed from JUB MARINER and supported by tug ZEEHOND. The area affected is adjacent to the Spending Beach and Berth 1. Due caution should be exercised when in transit past this location. Images on the usual page.
7. Ipswich Lock Closure - Ipswich Lock will be closed for essential maintenance on Friday 28th January 2022 from 07:00 until approx. 17:00. If the works are completed earlier than expected, then the lock will be re-opened to normal operation as soon as possible. Please contact Orwell Navigation Service, callsign ‘Ipswich Port Radio’ on VHF 68 or 01473 213526 for the latest information and advice.
