Notices to Mariners Week 46

[tillergirl]

Largely Dutch/Belgium waters this week

Permanent

1. Couple of new soundings, one outside Vlissengen, one inside. Neither is shallow enough to concern us.
2. Foul ground near the MAAS West Outer TSS but at 20+m will not trouble us.
3. Change of a buoy name off Zeebrugge
4. Repeat notification of the new safe water buoy to the East of the Sunk Gyratory system as from about 1st December.

Temporary

1. Nothing signaled near Foulger's Gat at the London Array this week although there is various inter turbine cable laying in progress.
2. Rochester Bridge will have spans closed for pier inspection
3. Test AIS transmissions from the Shipwash N buoy in progress
4. Survey this week of the BritNed underwater power cable from the Oaze to Princes Channel.

Nothing posted about the locking issues at Ipswich so I assume the problems continue as forecast.

Keeping their customers informed then

Aah, but the nice man in the office is now starting to collect email addresses from berth holders.
