A restricted area to the north-west from Nieuwpoort harbour entrance has been moved slightly.  The notice details new lat and long for the area and moves for the 4 cardinal buoys marking the ‘corners’ for two charts.  However, note that the Notice includes a UKHO block for a third SNC and the block include interim cardinal buoys (6) along the perimeter.  From which we can be sure that they really mean ‘restricted’ and that it is well marked.  Worth noting if going along the Flemish coast.  Both the usual image and the UKHO block can be downloaded.

This preliminary notice announces the new buoyage marking out the construction area for the East Anglia Three Offshore Wind Farm which will commence later this year.  The area is outside of the area which I monitor but I have provided images showing ‘context’ and the buoy ‘map’.  While under construction 500m safety zones (aka exclusion zones) will be placed around turbines sites.

The power lines are intended to come ashore about 1.4nm north of the Deben at Bawdsey.

Subsequent notices will report when the buoys have been placed.

In addition this week there is a second Notice (below) which places two yellow special lit buoys within the defined area.  This is a permanent notice so those two buoys have now been placed.

Charted Aids to Navigation in the reclaimed area have been decommissioned.  Harbour Works are taking place in the vicinity of the Cruise Terminal 1 (CT1) (51° 06´·783N., 1° 19´·004E.) and Western Docks 5 (WD5) ( 51° 06´·939N., 1° 19´·043E.) berths.

A floating pipeline is established in the Inner Harbour from berth WD5, which will be moved by a workboat to facilitate authorised vessels berthing on WD5. Floating pipeline works are due for completion by mid November 2024.

This preliminary Notice is one of a series of notices providing warning of reductions of depth in the vicinity of Lowestoft and its Approaches.  This Notice has 4 new reductions of depth in the south end of Barley Picle (the channel between the Scroby and South Cross Sands.  The reduced depths would not hinder leisure craft but nevertheless are dramatic; i.e. from generally over 30m down to 5 metres.

In addition to the previous preliminary notice 4628(P), there have been two earlier Notices in that area (Nos 1974 and 2639) so the image includes those reductions (but in blue).

This is a preliminary notice following the recent Civil Hydrology survey reporting reduced depths around the Gunfleet Sands, Sunk Sand and in the Kings Channel.  These comprise 1. 4 reductions of depth, 3 adjacent to the Gunfleet Spit cardinal buoy and a fourth with ample water for use north of the cardinal buoy: 2.  2 reductions at the Sunk Head and a third close to the Middle Sunk: 3. A single reduction in the Kings Channel (or West Swin) with ample water for us.  There had been a Notice earlier this year (NtM 1026) which advised four reduced depths on the Little Sunk following our survey so those are included in the image.  UKHO plan to issue a new edition of SN chart 1975 early next year incorporating all the changes that have been reported this year.  That SNC is the leading chart for electronic chartmakers to follow.

This notice provides a warning of ‘Less water reported 2024’ at the Knoll.  This was caused by us when we were down there on a rough day – hence no precise depths but our view was that south of the NW Knoll PHB had almost no water at chart datum.  On Saturday we conducted a very full survey in ideal conditions but regretfully (and frustratingly) we (I) suffered a major computer crash just after the survey where we lost the majority of the data.  We are endeavouring to reinstate the data but it is unlikely.  However, it was clear to us that a large area of sand is barely awash so stay clear.  The Knoll swatchway does still exist.
