This notice comprises three UKHO block for two charts and details of changes for buoy positions and characteristics for a third chart, all in relation to the approaches to Roompotsluis.  Most of the changes relating to the third chart are slight movement and re-designation but also the insertion of a new east cardinal buoy which acts (effectively) as a port hand buoy for the Roompot channel and as a starboard hand buoy for the Oude Roompot channel.  Whilst the UKHO blocks show the changes I have added an annotated ‘chartlet’ showing the changes (courtesy of Imray).  Only the annotated image is shown but all four images can be download via the usual button.

This notice is including two new drying heights and a deletion of a wreck that were reported in NtM 1798 in Week 22.  These new drying heights are both on the Long Sand and are included to update two UKHO small craft charts.  I am repeating what I said in week 22:  “Three new drying areas around the Black Deep: one on Long Sand at the edge of the Black Deep No 6 port hand buoy, a second, a drying area, on the Long Sand near the Black Deep No 4 close to the old Beacon, the third, again on the Long Sand where a wreck was once marked at 3.2m.

On the Little Sunk a depth is reduced to 0.9m which formerly was marked close by as 1.8m.  That does not affect the Little Sunk ‘crossing’ but suggests it is worth a re-survey which we will do at the second opportunity.”
