    CONTROLLED EXPLOSION OF ORDNANCE

    The dredger 'David Church' whilst operating within Dover harbour picked up what is believed to be an old World War II explosive.

    Dover Coastguard has been coordinating with the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team from Portsmouth and with the Dover Port Authority, to have the explosive taken to a remote area and detonated.

    Tony Chester, Watch Manager, Dover Coastguard, says:

    "It is the intention of the EOD to detonate the ordnance in a controlled environment in daylight hours. The ordnance is 1metre in length with a 30cm diameter and its fins have rusted off.

    The coastguard will be issuing safety broadcasts and warnings to vessels in the area. "
