1. ENGLAND - East Coast - Depths. - Twelve reductions of depth in and around the Deep Water routes and Two-Way route around the Long Sand Head and the Inner Sunk. This is obviously about the Deep Water channels and as every reduction of depth exceeds over 10m, this is unlikely to hinder leisure craft. But it shows a continuing trend of reduction to the north-east of the Long Sand Head.
2. ENGLAND - East Coast - Depths. - Two reductions of depth off the Jan den Bergh Jetties just north of the QEII bridge. Unlikely to hinder leisure craft or where you will be!
3. Thames Estuary - Black Deep - Black Deep No.2 Lighted Buoy (Trinity House Notice) - A very small move of the Black Deep No 2 port hand buoy which ‘partners’ the Sunk Head Tower north cardinal opposite. The move is so small the change is illustrated in the image by a ‘dot’. The Image and details can be found at the usual web site page: Notices to Mariners

1. GRAVESEND REACH TO NORTHFLEET HOPE - REMOVAL OF UNDERWATER OBSTRUCTIONS - on or about the 9th & 10th February 2022, the Port of London Authority will be conducting Diving operations at Gravesend Reach and Northfleet Hope to remove underwater obstructions in each location. One in the navigational channel adjacent to Tilbury 2 and one in the navigational channel adjacent to Hall’s, Northfleet. The dive team will be working from the Port of London Authority vessels IMPULSE which will be moored alongside LONDON TITAN and aim to carry out the works over daytime low water over 2 days with each craft being on each site for 1.5hrs. Both vessels will be monitoring VHF Channel 68
at all times & should display International Code Flags ‘Romeo Yankee (RY)’ and ‘Alpha (A)’ as appropriate. All passing vessels are required to navigate with caution and minimise their wash. 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’. Further details will be broadcast by London VTS on VHF Channel 68. Chartlet on the above page on the Local List.
2. Hydrographic Survey Operations - Glanville LTD will be undertaking survey operations in the: • Walton Backwaters from the 24 January 2022 to the 25 January 2022, • River Orwell between the 26 January 2022 and 28 January 2022.
Note: dates are approximate and subject to change. Surveys will be undertaken from the vessel Zego 300
3. Lowestoft Outer Harbour – Fender Repairs NW corner of Waveney Dock - works are scheduled to commence on Wednesday 19th January, to refurbish fendering arrangements at Waveney Berth No’s 6 and 7 (North West corner of Waveney Dock), in Lowestoft Outer Harbour. Works will be undertaken from vessel ‘Flying Hart’, which will be moored alongside the berths. Works are anticipated to take between two and three weeks to complete, subject to berth operational requirements. All timber and tyre fendering will be removed, then replaced by new timber fender sections. Works will be managed in attempt to minimise disruption to vessels requiring to land fish, or take bunkers at these berths. Vessels are requested to provide as much notice as possible for operational requirements in this area, so that works can be scheduled or adjusted accordingly. When manoeuvring in this dock area, vessels are requested to give the Flying Hart a wide berth and pass at slow speed to minimise vessel wash. Flying Hart will be monitoring VHF Ch14. Please contact Lowestoft Port Control, VHF 14, 01502 572286 (option 3), if further information is required.
4. Lowestoft – Gull Wing Construction Site – Updated Details - continued construction activity in Lake Lothing in the vicinity of the Gull Wing Bridge crossing. Piling activities from barges continue North and South sides. Construction will be focussed in the areas shaded yellow on the chart extract. (See the Local List of the above quoted web page) Navigation Channel Lights through the construction area consist of port and stbd lateral marks fixed to the cofferdam piles. Positions of the lights are as follows:-
Fl.G 2.5s NW Beacon Position = 52° 28' 26.30"N, 001° 44' 13.38"E
Fl.R 2.5s SW Beacon Position = 52° 28' 25.25"N, 001° 44' 12.88"E
Fl.G 2.5s NE Beacon Position = 52° 28' 26.04"N, 001° 44' 15.03"E
Fl.R 2.5s SE Beacon Position = 52° 28' 24.93"N, 001° 44' 14.49"E
The navigation channel in this area is 32m wide. There may be occasions during barge repositioning, when the barges or other marine plant encroach into this channel area. These encroachments are only anticipated to be up to approx. 5m and are scheduled so that they do not coincide with any large commercial vessel movements. Vessels involved with construction will be monitoring VHF Ch 14. Barges will be illuminated during the hours of darkness. Please check with Lowestoft Port Control for details of any variances to channel availability. All vessels are requested to navigate with extreme caution when transiting this area, and to pass the construction site at slow speed to reduce the effects of vessel wash.
Barges may be moored for prolonged durations East or West of the cofferdams but outside of the navigational channel. These barges have white flashing lights to mark their positions during hours of darkness. The Eastern Dolphin piles currently have extensions to support steel access platforms. The central piles and platform sections are marked by yellow and white flashing lights. It is essential that Mariners only pass between the red and green beacons. Navigation through the site outside of the marked channel (within the yellow shaded areas), is strictly prohibited. Please contact Lowestoft Port Control, VHF 14, 01502 572286 (option 3), if further information is required.
