1. ENGLAND - East Coast - Depths. - Continued changes in the southern entrance of the Holm Channel (to Great Yarmouth). Three reduced depths there but ample water for leisure craft. The chartlet includes previous changes this year including the moves of the S. Corton cardinal and NE Holm PH buoys.
2. ENGLAND - East Coast - Depths. Wrecks. Obstruction. - Four revised reduced depths over wrecks, six reduced depths and on new wreck and one new obstruction in the Wallet and on the Gunfleet Sands. There is a general trend of reduced depths on the NE tail of the Gunfleet Sands, indeed earlier this year a UK block was issued vide NtM 3694/24 in week 32. The block is slightly amended by this notice. There have been several notices of other reductions of depths so the image incorporates all the changes reported. Two images.
3. BELGIUM - Reclamation areas. Legend. Fog signal. Buoy. - This Notice should be read in conjunction with Notice 5349 in week 47 which variously reports land reclamation and a prohibitive area on the western side of the Blakenberge Harbour entrance. The new west cardinal buoy reported in week 47 is moved slightly to the west and the addition of a fog signal at the current western arm of the harbour entrance. (as advised by Johan couple weeks back).
4. ENGLAND - East Coast - Buoyage. - Two new ship’s moorings in Fiddlers Reach of the River Thames close by Broadness Saltings.
Local
1. Outer Crouch No 1 Lighted Buoy – River Crouch - NAVIGATION - Mariners are advised that the Outer Crouch No 1 Lighted Buoy in approximate position: 51°38.703 N 000°59.000 E is unlit.
2. Ipswich Lock Dive Survey - Mariners are advised that diving works will be conducted within the Ipswich Lock on: - Thursday 28th November – 0700- 1700. These works will necessitate a full lock closure for the duration of the day. Outside of these hours the lock will be open with regular service. Mariners requiring more information should contact ONS on VHF CH68.
3. Surveyed Depths – Harwich Harbour – Update 10 (actually I think this is Update 11!) - Mariners are advised of the latest hydrographic surveys showing depths in Harwich Harbour. The controlling depth for deep draught vessels navigating within the harbour area should currently be taken as 15.6m below chart datum, plus height of tide. The minimum depths below chart datum (not including inside berth boxes) are:
• 15.3m - spot soundings between the Shotley Spit Buoy and Babergh Buoy
• 15.3m - spot soundings between the Grisle Buoy and Shotley Spit Buoy
• 15.6m - spot soundings between the Fort Buoy and Grisle Buoy
See survey chart extracts by download at Notices to Mariners Local list Subject to availability of a suitable tidal window, vessels up to 17.0m maximum draught may be accepted. Contact Harwich VTS or Haven Pilots for further information.
4. Port of Wisbech - DAMAGED BUOY - Mariners are advised of the following buoy within the Nene Ports area of jurisdiction. Buoy BOB, Red Can, L FL R 5s at N52,51.082 E000,14.749 - Has been damaged and is currently unlit
That's it! Phew, I was a bit behind schedule.
