3. River Thames - Sea Reach - Yantlet Channel Extension - an extended secondary channel in the Yantlet Channel has been established to the south of the Sea Reach Channel. This extension runs further west to Lower Hope Buoy and extends 0.7 cables from the southern extent of the main channel. This amendment will shortly be reflected on all PLA and Admiralty products. The minimum depth within the new secondary channel is 4.3 metres. Vessels that can safely navigate outside of the main channel are advised to do so to remain clear of vessels arriving, swinging, or departing London Gateway. The extension of the secondary channel runs west from the Cliffe Foot port hand buoy to the crossing point for small craft across to Mucking Point No 5. What that means is smaller ships will use the secondary channel in either direction south of the main Yantlet Channel and we should stay further south should traffic use it. There is plenty of room for us.
