INFORMATION Mariners are courteously reminded of Rule 9 [Narrow Channels] of the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea 1972 [COLREGS] Rule 9 – Narrow Channels (b) A vessel of less than 20m in length or a sailing vessel shall not impede the passage of a vessel which can safely navigate only within a narrow channel or fairway. (d) A vessel shall not cross a narrow channel or fairway if such crossing impedes the passage of a vessel which can safely navigate only within such channel or fairway. The latter may use the sound signal prescribed in Rule 34(d) [At least five short and rapid blasts on the ship’s whistle] if in doubt as to the intention of the crossing vessel. (g) Any vessel shall if circumstances of the case admit avoid anchoring in a narrow channel. All commercial ships navigating in the Burnham Fairway will have a Crouch Harbour Authority [CHA] licensed pilot onboard. They will be monitoring VHF Channel 11 whilst within the CHA district. Do not impede these vessels as they can only navigate safely within the Fairway due to amongst other factors constraint of draught. A ship that is slowing down may not steer very well; it needs propeller action on the rudder to respond, it takes time and considerable distance to stop a ship particularly if it is in a loaded condition. Ships in narrow channels cannot easily avoid small craft, it is best that you stay clear. Be especially cautious and vigilant at night or in times of poor visibility, above all keep a good lookout both ahead and astern. If you cannot see the ships wheelhouse, the ship cannot see you. |

Leisure vessels must not moor in the harbour ferry or unloading areas, which are clearly marked on the map. Mooring is free between the hours of 0900 and 1600. Outside these hours the fees are as follows for each 24 hour period: Up to 5 metres LOA £10.00 Over 5 metres and up to 10 metres LOA £15.00 Over 10 metres and up to 15 metres LOA £20.00 Over 15 metres and up to 20 metres LOA £25.00 Larger vessels Vessels over 20 metres LOA requiring a berth must be registered with the Authority and have pre- Fees for large vessels are as follows: Embarking/disembarking passengers £25.00 Overnight mooring £35.00 Operators who are registered charities are entitled to a 50% discount. Fishing vessels Fishing vessels are restricted to using the unloading area of the pontoon, which is clearly marked. How to pay? Leisure vessels can pay mooring fees directly to the pier master who is located in the office next to the Café on the Pier. Fees will be collected after 1600 and before 0900 the following morning. Access out of hours The gate at the top of the pontoon gangway will be closed between 17.30 and 09.00. The gate allows visitors to exit the pontoon, but will require a code to access on return. Visiting craft that intend to stay overnight will be provided with the pontoon gate code on arrival. Visitors using the pontoon after 17.30 who do not intend to stay overnight can obtain the gate’s code by calling 07748 154039. Please note this phone is only manned until 21.00. Access to facilities The Toilet and shower facilities located on Ha’penny Pier require a code to access, which will be provided to you by the pier master on arrival. A water tap is located on the inside of the sea defence but be advised the water is not potable and therefore is not suitable for drinking. Access during bad weather The mooring facility is affected by both wind and tides and sometime it might not be possible to use the facility. During challenging conditions, the bridges between pontoons will be raised to protect them from damage. In such situations skippers should consider the pontoons closed. Skippers should always ensure that their vessels are securely moored with fenders in place. Our pier master is happy to advise about wind, tide and mooring conditions. Warnings Harwich Haven Authority accepts no responsibility for loss or damage to any vessel, its contents or injury to any person using the facility. Vessels are to navigate with caution when inside the pontoons due to floating moorings. |

LIMEHOUSE REACH -
Mariners are advised that on or about 28th August 2017 contractors working on behalf of the Tideway Tunnel Project will lay a temporary barge mooring off Deptford Wharf. The PLA vessel LONDON TITAN will lay a temporary barge mooring in a position south of the channel as indicated on the below chartlet. The barge mooring will be laid as a tier marked by unlit Admiralty class buoys at each end and identified as Deptford Strand Barge Moorings. It is anticipated this tier will be in place for the duration of the Tideway Tunnel workings. The installation works will be supported by DRIFTWOOD and other PLA craft. Vessels are requested to be mindful of the nature of the works, their wash when passing the works and to pass at a safe distance. London VTS will broadcast requests for vessels to “proceed with caution” or “proceed at slow speed”, as described in Permanent Notices to Mariners 4 of 2014 as required by the works. International Code flags “Romeo Yankee” will be displayed when this is in effect. Further details will be broadcast by London VTS on VHF Channel 14. |

Port of London Authority REPORTING INCIDENTS AND ACCIDENTS All mariners are reminded of their duty to report accidents and incidents in the Thames in accordance with the Port of London Thames Byelaws, no. 8. A recent survey of the Princes Channel showed a reduction to the published depth in one area, which was almost certainly caused by a vessel grounding as the result of squat. This grounding was not reported at the time and therefore the shoal patch was not discovered until a routine survey was carried out. If the grounding had been reported at the time a check survey could have been undertaken. This would have shown the area of reduced depth, which would then have been promulgated to river users. Thankfully on this occasion the unknown shoaling did not lead to another vessel taking the ground, but certainly had the potential to do so. Following an incident or accident a verbal report must be made immediately to the harbourmaster, either directly or through London VTS. This must be followed up with a written report as soon as is practicable and should contain sufficient detail for the Harbour Master to be able to commence an investigation without the need to clarify basic details which can often delay the investigation process and potentially increase the risk of a repeat incident before the PLA is able to react and implement new safety measures. Failure to report an incident or accident in accordance with the Thames Byelaws is an offence and could lead to prosecution. |

Dangerous Wreck on the Buxey Sand edge of the Swallowtail channel This is an 'unofficial' notice to Mariners. I have been told by Mr Alan Bird, a local oyster dredger and yachtsman who has seen detail of the 'Obstruction' in the channel between the Swallowtail and the Buxey Sand. Charts currently show there is an 'Obstn' drying 2m at 51.40'951N, 001.03'541E. However, Mr Bird records the position as 51°40’924N 001°03’660E - Mr Bird has submitted an H102 to the UKHO but kindly given me details of the wreck and a copy of the images. I have selected the best two images of the overview. Note that the tail end of the Swallowtail can be seen on the left of the image showing how narrow the channel is.
