These are changes to buoy positions in the Chenal Intermediaire  leading to the Port Quest of Dunkerque.


It is not possible to produce an image of the changes.  Generally the layout of the buoyage has not changed.  Some moves are very small but the general trend is to move the starboard hand buoys west a little and the port hand buoys north thus increasing the width of the buoyed channel for large shipping.


It is suggested that the PDF be printed to ensure that any relevant waypoints are updated.

Another of the 1950’s beacons has given way, this time the NW Long sand beacon.  Only the Cant and Girdler beacons of this series remain and those are already ruins.  The NW Long sand had its uses as a clearing line when crossing the SW Sunk swatchway – now sadly no longer visible.  The wreckage is probably least of our worries as nobody in their right mind would venture over the top of the NW Long Sand.  Quite close to the remains (sunken) of Radio Caroline of course.

Week 6


Automatic Identification System (AIS) - Use of AIS as an Aid to Navigation (AtoN)

The General Lighthouse Authorities¹ (GLA) have commenced roll out of AIS AtoN at selected fixed and floating stations on the coasts of Great Britain and Ireland.

It is considered appropriate to remind mariners of the purpose of AIS AtoN and what they may expect to see on some of the available displays. It is important to bear in mind that the information available to mariners will be dependent on their display system and not all transmitted information may be displayed.

AIS Transmissions are currently exhibited from the Trinity House stations in the download opposite.

Displays & Symbology

The IMO mandatory carriage requirement for Class A² AIS display is the Minimum Keyboard Display which displays the data in alphanumeric form.  It is important to bear in mind that not all vessels are equipped with AIS. Of those vessels that are AIS equipped the displays available can range from no display on some Class B² units, through the mandatory Class A MKD, to full ECDIS and Radar overlay. In the absence of ECDIS or Radar overlay users will not be able to fully utilise AIS AtoN functionality.

There is also a variance on information that will be displayed by different manufacturers on ECDIS or Radar equipment.   

The symbology that may be displayed on nautical charts, display systems and MKD is summarised below. 

Nautical Charts - On nautical charts AIS AtoN are indicated by a magenta circle surrounding the existing AtoN symbol and an adjacent legend stating AIS.  The font will be straight for fixed AtoN and italic for floating AtoN.

Display Systems - Where AIS is provided as an overlay on ECDIS, Radar or other display systems AIS AtoN are indicated by a Diamond shape with crossed lines at the reported position of the AtoN. Where the AtoN is on station the diamond will be Blue and where the AtoN Off Station flag has been activated the diamond will be Red. In the case of a Virtual AIS³ AtoN there will be a V below the crossed lines.

 Range       Bearing    Name

XX.XX       XXX.X       XXXXXXXXX

XX.XX       XXX.X       XXXXXXXXX

XX.XX       XXX.X       XXXXXXXXX

Latitude               XXX XX.XXX

Longitude          XXX XX.XXX

 

Minimum Keyboard Display - The mandatory Minimum Keyboard Display (MKD) is only required to display data in alphanumeric form. Some MKD are units supplemented by a small graphical display. Exact presentation will vary but the layout opposite would be typical of MKD displays.

Message Types.

AIS stations provided by the GLA will transmit Message 21 – Aids to Navigation Report.  This message will provide details of the Name, MMSI, Type and Position of the AtoN. In addition there will be an indication if the AtoN is off station, and of the status of the light, Racon or other equipment.  

Other messages providing additional data may occasionally be broadcast. These would normally be Binary Messages 6/8 or Short Safety Related Messages 12/14.

Details of AIS AtoN are set out in Volume 2 of the Admiralty List of Radio Signals.

 Feedback

Mariners are requested to contact the General Lighthouse Authorities regarding their experience of AIS and in particular the extent to which AIS AtoN data is available to them
