Announcing several new charts from Belgium is because the UKHO versions will cease on 6th March. Previously Belgium issued chart new editions and the UKHO would then adopt them as ADMIRALTY charts a few months later. Now the UKHO will publish the Belgian Charts in their own series as BE charts, but both the UKHO version and Belgium’s will be the same and updated at the same time. NMs for the four new BE Charts (BE 11, BE101, BE102 and BE 106) will be issued through UKHO NM bulletin as normal and available from the website. Chart 1872 is to be deleted from Notices 3183(T)/23, 3999(T)/24, 286(T)/25, 771(T)/25 and 866(T)/25. Chart 1873 is to be deleted from Notices 3183(T)/23, 286(T)/25, 771(T)/25 and 1123(T)/25. On withdrawal of this chart former Notice 5099(T)/24 is cancelled. Chart 1874 is to be deleted from Notices 3183(T)/23, 3999(T)/24, 771(T)/25 and 1123(T)/25. |

This notice announces a family of four cardinal buoys (one each) marking the site of the ‘soon to come’ Princess Elisabeth Island. This is located west of the Westhinder bank and east of the NE going TSS. NtM 783 placed two yellow special buoys earlier this year in the same location. The Belgium plan is from the ELIA group and the object is to create an energy hub which will connect UK, Belgium and Norway. I have linked a brochure with the usual pdf image download. The island is to be built from now to mid 2026 and then the energy hub will be built. The location is probably unlikely to hinder leisure craft given that crossing over the Westhinder bank is best avoided.

Affects: UKHO SNC: 1630. Imray Full Charts: C30 This notice announces a family of four cardinal buoys (one each) marking the site of the ‘soon to come’ Princess Elisabeth Island. This is located west of the Westhinder bank and east of the NE going TSS. NtM 783 placed two yellow special buoys earlier this year in the same location. The Belgium plan is from the ELIA group and the oject is to create an energy hub which will connect UK, Belgium and Norway. I have linked a brochure with the usual pdf image download. The island is to be built from now to mid 2026 and then the energy hub will be built. The location is probably unlikely to hinder leisure craft given that crossing over the Westhinder bank is best avoided.

This notice repeats 6 revised depths over wrecks dealt with last week to include SNC 1630. That leaves us with one revised depth at the east edge of the Westhinder Ships anchorage which has over 19m, a revised depth of 15.8 over a wreck well osshore off Oostende and a revised depth over an ‘obstn’ of 2.3m which is 4nm north of Zeebrugge Harbour entrance. Three images.

Imray Full Charts: C30 Imray Leisure Folios: 2120.3 and 2120.4 Thirteen revised depths over wrecks in Belgium waters. Surprisingly 12 of the depths are less than previously recorded despite 10 of then being previously swept. Five of the wrecks are located in the West Hinder TSS, their approaches or adjacent. All are in deep water and will not hinder a leisure craft. Four wrecks are around the approaches to Oostende. One at 1.4m on the edge of the Stroombank is worth noting in particular. The final four wrecks are on the approaches to Zeebrugge and are previously marked (obviously) and are unlikely to hinder leisure craft. Three images.
