Week 8
1. New Editions of ADMIRALTY Charts to be published on 9th March, 2023 - Chart 3750 England - East Coast, Rivers Crouch and Roach. 1:25,000; A Burnham-on-Crouch. 1:10,000; B Continuation of River Crouch. 1:25,000 - Includes changes to depths from the latest Port of London and commercial surveys and buoyage.
2. ENGLAND - East Coast - Buoy. Mooring buoy. - New yellow special lit buoy (seasonal) just north of the O2 arena and one move of a ships mooring in Bugsby Reach, River Thames.
3. ENGLAND - East Coast - Depths. Drying heights. - 8 reductions of depth on the Ray Sand. Note that the warning ‘Less Water 2021’ is no longer displayed on the primary chart (chart 1975). Do NOT rely on Navionics or C-Map which were not even accurate prior to this Notice (I cannot speak for other makes except for Imray – their new Chart 17B is accurate prior to this notice which is now annotated on the image below). I recommend my download: Downloads
4. ENGLAND - East Coast - Depths. - Two additional reductions of depth at the Long Sand Head in the ship’s Two-Way Route. Notice 359 earlier this year had reductions on the Long Sand Head so I have updated the earlier image to include these two new depths (in blue) with the earlier reductions. Continued movement NE of the Long Sand Head - Don't cut the corner!
5. NETHERLANDS - Depths. - One reductions of depth on the Steenbanken off the Dutch coast of the Westkapelle.
6. BELGIUM - Buoy. Scientific instrument. - A new temporary buoy marking scientific equipment in the middle of the Off Noord Hinder TSS two-way channel.
Week 9
1. New Editions of ADMIRALTY Charts to be published on 16th March, 2023 - SNC 1543 England - East Coast, Winterton Ness to Orford Ness. 1:75,000:
SCC 5605.8 Dover to Deal. 1:37,500 and SCC 5605.9 Deal to Ramsgate. 1:37,500
2. ENGLAND - East Coast - Note. Legend. - The Notice provides an identical legend showing the channel deepening works on the approaches to Felixstowe. Each SCC chart also has a marginal note thus: CHANNEL DEEPENING - Work to deepen Harwich Deep Water Channel to 16·0m is in progress. Extensive dredging operations and associated activity will be conducted within and alongside the channel. For the latest information consult Harwich Harbour Operations Service, (or Harwich VTS) and local notices to mariners.
3. ENGLAND - East Coast - Depths. - Two reductions of depth in the Gravesend Reach off the West Tilbury Marshes. Unlikely to hinder leisure craft.
4. ENGLAND - East Coast - Depths. - An extraordinary tight cluster of 4 reductions of depth around the Knock John Buoys Nos 2 and 3. Not likely to hinder leisure craft but clearly is tight at LWS for big container ships there!
5. ENGLAND - South East Coast - Depths. Obstructions. - Eleven of reductions of depth or new obstructions in and around the Gull Stream off Deal. Quite varied depths but none should hinder leisure craft.
Week 10
1. ENGLAND - East Coast - Buoyage. - A move of the two first lateral buoys into the Ray Gut of Leigh-on-Sea.
2. ENGLAND - East Coast - Depths. - Two reductions of depth close by the Masthouse Terrace Pier at Greenwich Reach.
3. ENGLAND - South East Coast - Depths. - Two reductions of depth within Ramsgate Harbour, one close by the entrance of the East Marina and the second, in the outer harbour.
4. ENGLAND - East Coast - Buoyage. - Confirmation of the temporary notice by the Crouch Harbour Authority that the Outer Crouch No 4 and the Whitaker No 4 are off station.
5. NETHERLANDS - Wreck. Historic wrecks. - Two associated Notices notifying Historical Wrecks in Dutch waters well offshore.
6. ENGLAND - East Coast - Depths. - Two reductions of depth in Long Reach, Purfleet and one mid stream west of the Thames barrier. Unlikely to hinder leisure craft.
All notices are illustrated and can be seen at Notices to Mariners.
