TEXT

1. Black Deep lies between Sunk Sand to the NW and Long Sand to the SE, both of which dry in parts. The fairway is generally 1½ miles wide, but narrows at its SW end to 5 cables and is marked by numbered light-buoys, odd numbers to the NW and even numbers to the SE.

2. SE of Maplin Sands, which lie along the whole of NW side of West Swin and are marked on their E side by Maplin Light-buoy (E cardinal). Maplin Sands extend about 3 miles offshore from the coast between Foulness Point and Shoebury Ness.

3. Whitaker Beacon (isolated danger) stands at the SW end of the spit close NE of the drying line,which marks the NE limit of Foulness Sand. The remains of an older beacon, awash at

LW, are 150 m NE of Whitaker Beacon.

(Original dated 1979)

4. Cork Sand Light-buoy (port hand ) is moored 4 cables WNW of the N

extremity of Cork Sand and also on the S limit of South Channel. Experimental buoys, which have no navigational significance may be laid in the S end of Cork Hole.

5. Vergoyer E Light-buoy (E cardinal) (11 miles WNW), marking the NE side of Vergoyer, and Vergoyer N Light-buoy (N cardinal) (12 miles NW) marking the N extremity of Vergoyer and which lies on the boundary between the Traffic Separation Scheme and the Inshore Traffic Zone.

6. Two buoys, which indicate the direction of the tidal stream, are moored, one 1 mile WNW of the entrance to Port Quest and the other 4 cables WNW of the entrance to Port Est. Seen from the N they show by day the side painted black and by night a white light over an orange light when the stream is E-going. When the stream is W-going they show their white side (day) or two white lights (night).

7. Two buoys (special), one moored close SE and the other close SW of RCE Light-buoy, together with the light-buoy form a distinctive radar target.

8. The channels in the estuary are marked by numbered buoys or light-buoys, which are often prefixed by letters indicating the name of the channel. In winter light-buoys may be withdrawn or replaced by unlit buoys.

9. SBZ Light-buoy (S cardinal) is moored at the SW extremity of Schouwenbank, and SD4 Buoys (both port hand) on the SE side of the bank and SBO Light-buoy (E cardinal) at its NE extremity. Middlebank Light-buoy (safe water) is moored in the center of the bank.

10. The alignment of the following beacons leads over the bar to the entrance which is about 1 cable wide and lies between drying banks of shingle: front beacon (red post, white triangular topmark), rear beacon (red post, red square topmark). These beacons are moved as necessary to reflect changes in the bar and the channel. The beacons may be lit at night on request.

11. Four buoys (special) moored on the W side of the entrance mark the W limit of the oyster beds in the channel. The S buoy is marked “Fishery”. The S limit is indicated by the alignment of a pair of beacons on Colne Point and by Inner Bench Light-buoy.

12. Branklet Buoy (special) is moored NE of the shoal water extending from Wallasea Island. A number of seasonal buoys (special), which act as racing marks, are laid off the N bank of river Crouch.

13. The E limit of the approach channel is marked by the Leith approach Light-buoy and a light dolphin (5 cables SE of the approach buoy) together with a line of dolphins to the SE of the beacon. The two beacons (red triangles, floodlit) one close SE of the head of West Breakwater, the other on the SE side of Western Harbour in line indicate the W limit of the approach channel.

14. Hen and Chickens Light-buoy is moored 1½ cables to the S of the patch on the N side of the fairway at the commencement of the dredged approach channel, which has a least width of 120 m. No 1 light-beacon (red cylinder on pile) lies 2 cables S of the buoy and to the S side of the approach channel. The channel is marked by light-beacons and light-buoys.

15. Day beacons may be identified by their colour and shape; in certain cases a number may also be shown. Normally lights are not exhibited from day beacons, but coloured reflectors are fitted to indicate the shape, colour, and number if any, of the beacon, if a searchlight is used by a vessel. Starboard-hand beacons are triangular, with a red triangle in the centre and a red reflective border. Port-hand beacons are square, with a black square in the centre and a green reflective border.

16. A beacon (mast, white rectangle daymark, white reflectors) stands on Teal Island. On the E shore of the channel ¾ mile NE of Teal Island, is the entrance to a small, narrow, marshy lagoon.

17. A beacon (staff, white framework drum topmark) stands on the SW point of Magee Islet. A similar beacon stands on a ledge, which dries 5 m ½ cables W of Picture Island; both ledge and island are steep-to on their S sides. A buoy (red spar) marks the S edge of the channel between it and the 5 m drying ledge.

18. A buoy (black can) marks the edge of foul ground, which extends 5½ cables W from the NE of the four islets off the NW of Kumdis Island. The fairway is reduced to about 1 cable between the buoy and the edge of the foul ground.

19. Wells Fairway Light-buoy (safe water) (53º 00' N, 0º 51' E) is moored 7 cables NNE of the entrance to the approach channel called The Run. The outer part of the channel is marked by buoys, some lighted, which are moved as necessary and should not be relied upon. The channel is marked by beacons, some lighted, with diamond topmarks on the W side and square topmarks on the E side.

20. The alignment (170º) of the front beacon (orange, triangle topmark) and rear beacon (orange, square topmark) leads to the E of Bar Buoy (special). The beacons are moved without notice as required by changes in the channel and are therefore not charted.

21. A buoy (port hand) marks a dangerous wreck on the N side of the channel. Within the channel Nos. 1 to 10 Buoys (black barrels, summer only) mark the W side of the channel as it curves round Blakeney Point and should be kept on the starboard hand when entering.

22. Tabs Head Light-beacon (red square topmark on white mast) and Dolly Peg Light-beacon (black triangular topmark) mark the entrance to New Cut. New Cut Light- beacon (tide gauge, conical topmark) stands on the N bank 1¼ cable W of Tabs Head Light-beacon.

23. The channel is marked by light-buoys and beacons, which include some of the marks indicating the E limit of the danger area. The S part of the channel is marked by light-beacons and buoys. Those painted white and exhibiting white or green lights should be left to starboard and those red and with red lights left to port.

24. A beacon (starboard hand daymark) stands at the S entrance to Louise Narrows, with another beacon (port hand daymark) 3 cables N of it. In 1998 it was reported that the channel had shoaled and narrowed. Two mooring buoys are moored about 9 cables N of

the narrow.

25. Gavan Shmidta leading light-beacons alignment (338½º) of a pair of light-beacons leads to the entrance of Reka Kalmius and Gavan Shmidta. The channel is 70 m wide.

26. West Range Beacons (masts, red daymarks with black stripe), in line 113½º, stand on a prominent point 6½ cables ESE of McLellan Point. A beacon (black), about 4 cables ESE of McLellan Point, stands on the edge of the drying bank on the S side of the fairway and marks the shoal to the E.

27. Mid Beacon (white mast 5 m in height, square topmark, vertical red reflectors), marking the S side of the fairway, stands on a rock in mid-channel, 4½ cables W of East Beacon. East Beacon (port hand, radar reflector) stands on a rock which dries.

28. Three mooring buoys provide a berth for a vessel to secure to the seaward end of an oil pipeline that extends from the shore for about ¾ cable, 5½ cables SE of the town quay. Vessels secure bows NE to a single mooring buoy and stern-to to two mooring buoys. There are some tanks close SE of the root of the pipeline.

29. The Maritime Danube is marked by light-buoys and buoys as follows: Danger along S (right) bank and S side of fairway – red cylindrical buoys or spar-buoys with red cylinder topmark; danger along N (left) bank and N side of fairway – black conical buoys or spar buoys with black conical cone point; axis of fairway where no danger exists – white buoys with shape of two superimposed conical sections on small base with black and white horizontal bands or spar-buoys with top mark of similar shape.

30. The alignment (044º) of Port Azovstal light-beacons: front light (white rectangle on framework tower, 22 m in height)(47º 05'· 1N, 37º35'·2E); middle light (white rectangle on metal framework tower, 37 m in height) (0·84 miles from front light); rear light (structure as for middle light, 34 m in height) (1·7 miles from front light) leads for about 5 miles through a dredged channel marked by pairs of light-buoys and buoys (port and starboard hand) to where it divides for the final approaches to Port Azovstal and Gavan Shmidta.
