Only 43 weeks to Christmas!
Permanent Notices
1. Notification that new editions of Admiralty Charts 1534 and 1535 (Yarmouth and Lowestoft) will be published on 15th March. You will recall that in Week 2 we had a preliminary notice saying that as a result of new2 surveys of the various banks in this area, the charts were being reissued. No NtM of the changes have been issued and its a case of waiting to see the changes;
2. Repeat of the Trinity House notice that on or around the 8th March, changes will be made to the Walker and SW Shipwash buoys (configuration changing). This of course is just north of the Sunk Giratory;
3. Couple of buoys removed from the Boston Deep channel and movement of the Wishech and Sutton Bridge Pilot Station;
4. Some changes to leading lights for ships in the Flanders Container Quay in Zeebrugge - shouldn't affect us!
5. New Data Buoy just outside the Deep Water Channel that runs past the entrance to Dunkerque West. Probably worth noting for those who go that way;
6. One from the Port of London on Incident Reporting including where to download a form or make an on-line report;
Temporary
1. Update on the London array Wind Farm as usual. I have drawn a new image in which foundations and turbines can be distinguished and in which there is a distinction between installed equipment and work in progress in the current week. I hope you like the new image and find it (even) clearer than the old one. Turbines going up next to Foulger's again and of course cable pull over in the East Swale.
2. Three 'Fouls' in the Westhinder anchorage to go with the anchor and chain already lost there. 20 odd metres so not really an issue for us.
3. and 4. Unexploded Ordnance found on the edge of the Middlekerke Bank and on the edge of the Lodewijkbank nicely close to the gas pipeline;
5. Temporary removal of AP3 buoy with Dunkerque West harbour where we are supposed not to go;
6. The AIS from Orford Ness Lighthouse notified last week has been permanently discontinued for 'operational reasons'.
C'est toutes, mes amis.
