    PORT OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT

    Notice to Mariners No. 7/2010


    WESTERN ENTRANCE - REMOVAL OF BLOCK SHIP



    Works to remove the Western Entrance Block Ship are expected to commence on or after Wednesday 16th June and are currently programmed to last 10 weeks.

    During this period the block ship position is to be marked by various small buoys and two 60m crane barges with legs and marked anchors will remain on station, principally to the east side of the site. The recovered steel will transported to the Jet Foil Basin by a tug and barge.

    The Western Entrance will remain open for use but when manoeuvring in the vicinity all vessels are advised to exercise caution, proceed at slow speed and maintain a safe distance from the floating plant.

    The North Cardinal Buoy, (Wreck By.), will remain on station until such time as it becomes necessary to lift it clear of the area to progress work at the northern end.

    On completion of this work the charted depth will be increased to 8.5m over the entire area and the North Cardinal Buoy permanently removed.
