1. NEW PLA PUBLICATION - PORT INFORMATION GUIDE -
The Port of London Authority has published a Port Information Guide which has been produced for all river users, vessel owners and operators, publishers of nautical information and any other party that needs nautical information. This guide contains an A to Z listing of key Port of London information for all Thames users. The Port Information Guide is a live document and will continuously be updated. Users are therefore encouraged, to not print or save copies of the guide for extended periods of time and always refer to our website for the latest version. The guide can be accessed on our website via the below link:
Port Information Guide | Port of London Authority
For queries about this guide, please contact our Marine Compliance team: SafetyManagement@pla.co.uk Note on that link there is an app for live tide data - so, if for example you had a 'huge' keel and wanted to know the height of tide at the Spitway, log into the Walton live tide data - there is about only -0.2m height of tide at the Spitway compared to Walton.
2. Channel Deepening Dredging and Beneficial Placements - this a repeat of the thread last week - full details and iamges in the Local list on the above quoted page.
3. River Medway - Saltpan Reach – London Thamesport - Dredging Operations -
dredging operations are due to take place at the London Thamesport terminal. Dredging will commence on or around 1st October 2021 and is programmed to run over six flood tide periods with completion expected on or around 4th October 2021. Operations will be focussed around the “berthing box” of Thamesport and will be carried out by the water injection dredger ‘Mersey’. ‘Mersey’ will display the required signals for respective operations by day and night. All vessels are requested to pass with caution and minimise their wash whilst dredging is in progress. London Thamesport Terminal is centred at the following approximate location: 51° 25.940 N – 000° 41.170 E
Admiralty Chart No. 1834 refers. Further information may be obtained from Medway VTS on VHF Channel 74, call sign “Medway VTS” or telephone 0151 949 6148.
4. Burnham Fairway No. 11 Lighted Buoy - the Burnham Fairway No 11 Lighted Buoy in approximate position: 51°37.430 N, 00°48.400 E Is unlit.
5. Whitaker No 4 Lighted Buoy - the Whitaker No 4 Lighted Buoy in approximate position: 51°39.757 N, 001°03.478 E Is back in operation.

That's it.

Thanks as always.
I think the bottom "Spitway" should read Walton".

Note on that link there is an app for live tide data - so, if for example you had a 'huge' keel and wanted to know the height of tide at the Spitway, log into the Walton live tide data - there is about only -0.2m height of tide at the Spitway compared to the Spitway.
 
Ta everso. I would like to say that I had deliberately left a mistake to see if anyone actually read anything (I did that a couple of times when I used to work - and I used to add a hidden code on copies of reports so I could see who exposed something to the media - that worked once!) but the truth is.... I bungled!
