AIDS TO NAVIGATION 2015 - 2020

The three General Lighthouse Authorities (GLAs); the Commissioners of Irish Lights, the NorthernLighthouse Board and Trinity House, operate an integrated aids to navigation service throughoutthe coastal waters of Britain and Ireland. This service is delivered to recognised standards setby the International Association of Marine Aids to Navigation and Lighthouse Authorities (IALA)so as to meet the responsibilities of the British and Irish Governments under the InternationalMaritime Organization (IMO) Safety of Life at Sea Convention (SOLAS).

The joint Mission Statement of the GLAs is to:

“To deliver a reliable, efficient and cost effective Aids to NavigationService for the benefit and safety of all mariners.”

This is the fourth 5 yearly Review whereby a formal, simultaneous and coordinated assessmentof all the Aids to Navigation (AtoN)under their responsibility is undertaken by the three GLA’s.This Review addresses the current and anticipated future requirements for the safe passage ofnational and international shipping. It also addresses the requirements of other mariners, suchas fishing and leisure users.

The mandate of the GLAs and their statutory responsibility is to provide sufficient aids tonavigation to mitigate risks and protect the marine environment. The GLAs work withGovernment, shipping interests, and other stakeholders to minimise this cost.

The GLA Marine Aids to Navigation Strategy to 2025 (2025 & Beyond), forms the strategicfoundation of this Review. However, as the strategy to 2030 will be published in 2015 accounthas also been taken of developments since the 2025 strategy was published. Various policyconsiderations are contained in the GLA’s Joint Navigation Requirement Policies (JNRP-2012),Radio Navigation Plan (GRNP-2012) and Visual Aids to Navigation Plan (VANP–2012). Thesedocuments expand the strategic view.

As detailed in the AtoN Review Policy document which is contained in the JNRP, it should berecognised that the nature of shipping and navigation continues to change. Consequently theAtoN infrastructure to assist safe passage requires periodic review to ensure that the AtoNsprovided are appropriate. The requirement and the rate of change vary geographicallydepending on a number of factors. Within the GLA areas it is considered that a Strategic Planand Operational Plan (i.e. 5 year AtoN Review) caters for the short and longer and short termreview requirements.

The principle applied is that the amount, mix and nature of AtoNs provided are:• Commensurate with the volume of and nature of the traffic• Appropriate for the degree of risk• Integrated and cost-effective• Compliant with internationally accepted standards

The priorities in applying such principles are:-• The safety of life at sea• Safe passage of shipping• The protection of the marine environment• The maintenance of trade

Each AtoN has been studied in isolation, as well as in relation to the other AtoN in its vicinitywhich is referred to as the "mix" of AtoN. The review has been carried out based solely on thenavigational requirements.

SECTION TWO INTRODUCTION

The Aids to Navigation Review 2015 - 2020 is a supporting document of the GLA’s Strategy to 2030, whichwill be launched in 2015/16.

3.1 Start and Finish of Review ProcessThe 2015 AtoN Review was formally announced at the Joint Users Consultative Group (JUCG)meeting in London on 15 May 2014.

The 2015 AtoN Review was formally published at the JUCG meeting in London on 6 May 2015.

Outcome of 2010 Review and Lessons Learned (As per DfT Internal Audit No. 09/02)

1. Whilst recognising the formal requirement for the 5 yearly AtoN review the importanceof continual assessment should be emphasised.

2. Written procedures have been incorporated into JNRP (2012).

3. Commence the 2015 Review earlier with defined dates for progress meetings; peer reviewsand final publication.

4. Where AIS data has been available it has been used to analyse traffic information.

5. A combination of both qualitative and quantitative assessments has been used to ensurethat all aspects of requirements are considered. Quantitative data, such as that gainedfrom AIS analysis as in 4 above, can only have a meaningful representation whenconsidered alongside expert opinion on specific mariner requirements.

6. Comments received from stakeholders should be differentiated to take account of thestakeholder perspective, for example safety of navigation and those commenting on thepreservation of historical lighthouses/buildings.

3.2 Conduct of the ReviewEach GLA has carried out a review of its own area of responsibility. Where the boundaries oftwo or even all three, GLAs meet, a concerted view has been necessary. Thus, for example, inthe North Channel/Isle of Man area, all three GLAs have combined to produce therecommendations covering these areas.

In producing the recommendations contained in the Review, the GLAs have:

• Carried out their own internal study of the AtoN in their area of responsibility.

• Followed an identical review process.

• Completed identical Risk Assessment Forms and signoff procedures.

• Assessed AtoN individually and as part of a “mix”.

• Carried out cross-border discussions with other GLAs.

• Involved the Users in initial discussions and invited comment.

• Formally briefed the individual GLA User Consultative Groups on the recommendations.

3.3 Peer ReviewIn this review, the 3 GLAs have each presented their draft recommendations to the others forassessment, cross examination and comment.

3.4 User ConsultationUsers were formally consulted during 2013/2014 both for input into the Review and commenton the draft proposals by distribution of Notice to Mariners, press release and targeted userconsultation. A number of the proposed changes contained in the Review have been incorporatedas a direct result of user response obtained to date on specific areas of interest.

3.5 Transfers to LLAs and period of transferThe changes recommended in this Review are generally intended to be completed within theperiod of the Review. In the case of transfer of AtoN to a Local Lighthouse Authority (LLA) it ispossible that all recommendations may not be fully completed within the period. It is importantthat there is an orderly transfer of such AtoN and that they are transferred in good condition.In the case of recommendations on range reductions, unless there is a significant cost saving tobe achieved, these will be completed as part of the normal Enginering Projects programme.

3.6 The Principles applied in determining the Navigational Requirement

In December 2008, the IMO Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) approved an e-Navigation strategy.Whilst the end result and the timeframe to complete are not certain, nonetheless navigationaltechnology continues to advance. The 2010 Navigation Review established the principle thatthe primary means of navigation for the majority of users is GNSS, however Visual and Radio Aidsto Navigation remain essential as complementary and back up to GNSS.

In this Review, the following principles are applied.

• Generally, Visual and Radio Aids to Navigation can be considered as complementary toan essential essential back-up system to GNSS.

• Physical aids are important for both offshore and inshore spatial awareness and hazardmarking.

• Generally, having one AtoN in view is acceptable.

• A maximum nominal range of 18 miles is considered sufficient for most lighted Visual Aidsto Navigation.

• Leading lights, sectored lights and Precision Directional Lights (PDL) remain important.

• Fog signals are no longer considered to be AtoNs and will only be used as hazard warningsignals.

• More use can be made of sequential and synchronised lights.

3.7 MethodologyAs in previous Reviews, the coasts of Britain and Ireland have been divided into 21 coastal areas.Areas 1 to 8 are the responsibility of Northern Lighthouse Board. Areas 9 to 14 are theresponsibility of Trinity House. Areas 15 to 21 are the responsibility of Irish Lights.

• Both Qualitative and Quantitative data has been used as far as possible to inform the overall assessment of requirements.

• AIS analysis has been used as much as possible to determine the volume, type, tracks and pattern of traffic and when carrying out risk assessments.

• Collisions & Groundings data provided by the MCA has been used to support risk assessment.

• Use has been made of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) overlay tools to assist in theoverall assessment of requirements.

• Information has been incorporated from RYA cruising routes and other sources affectingthe safety of the Mariner, including proposals for Renewable Energy and aquaculture developments.

• Each AtoN has been subject to a navigational assessment under the headings below. Where changes are recommended, a full written Risk Assessment (RA) is carried out.

• A Risk Assessment may be applied either to individual AtoN or to a group of interrelatedAtoN.

• The GLAs have cross checked their RAs and recommendations with each other.

Assessment of AtoNs and the format of RAs carried out include the following considerations:

1 Is the AtoN a significant part of a group of Aids which will be affected by the change?

2 Assessment of local bathymetry against the proposed change?

3 Frequency and accuracy of hydrographic surveys?

4 Traffic density, type, size, draft and speed.

5 Traffic patterns to be considered in relation to conflict between route and types of vessel.

6 Existing obstructions and developments.

7 Planned new obstructions or developments.

SECTION FOUR BACKGROUND TO REVIEW & FACTORS

4. Background to Review & Factors relevant to the Review

4A Navigational Issues

4A.1 Modern NavigationThe bridges of most modern commercial ships are fitted with a number of key navigational aids,which rely on inputs from GPS for position and timing. GPS has brought readily available andaccurate position fixing to millions and has changed the manner in which the mariner conductsa voyage. An integrated bridge has GPS inputs to radar, electronic chart, autopilot, AutomaticIdentification System (AIS), Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) Voyage DataRecorders, Emergency Position Indicating Rescue Beacon (EPIRB) and more.

The fundamental nature of marine navigation has altered as a result of the proliferation of good,reliable, mass-market GPS receivers with a nominal accuracy of 10 metres or better. The GLAshave operated a public service Differential GPS system since 1998, which offers an enhancedlevel of accuracy (5 metres or better) but most importantly includes an integrity warning ofGPS service interruption or degradation.

However, there remains concern that in the maritime sector there is such high reliance on GPSfor positioning fixing and timing due to the known vulnerability of the system to accidental ormalicious interference. Glonass, and Galileo, the Russian and European equivalents of GPS andother planned systems will only ameliorate concerns to a limited degree. The similarities of theGNSS space based signals mean that they suffer from the same weaknesses. It is essential toretain a mix of complementary systems, as the fundamental principle of marine navigation is notto rely on a single source of navigation information when alternative sources are available. TheIMO e-Navigation Strategy Implementation Plan (SIP) includes improved reliability, resilienceand integrity of bridge equipment and navigation information as one of its prioritised solutions.A range of resilient PNT solutions are being considered. The GLAs promote e-Loran as a landbased radio navigation system that is fundamentally different to the satellite signals and doesnot suffer from the same vulnerabilities.

Given that it is estimated that over 90% of UK and Irish trade is carried by sea and our watersare some of the busiest in the world, the potential for accidents, disruption of trade,environmental damage and loss of life resulting from interruption to the GNSS signals is of greatconcern.

In 2010, the General Lighthouse Authorities published their Marine Aids to Navigation Strategyto 2025, known as '2025 & Beyond'. This strategy document will be reviewed in 2015 to updateour longer term outlook.

4A.2 e-Navigatione-Navigation is the next evolutionary step towards safer navigation. The IALA definition is: “e-Navigation is the harmonised collection, integration, exchange, presentation and analysis ofmaritime information onboard and ashore by electronic means, to enhance berth-to-berthnavigation and related services, for safety and security at sea and protection of the marineenvironment”

There are 3 fundamental building blocks that must be in place before e-Navigation is fully viable.

1 Secure and reliable PNT systems

2 Secure and reliable communications systems

3 Secure and accurate charts and charting displays

In the present time frame, it is estimated that the elements of e-Navigation will not be fullyoperational before 2019. Even then, it may not be delivered on a set date but rather it will beintroduced gradually.

IMO MSC94 in November 2014 approved a Strategic Implementation Plan for e-Navigation. Themain objective of the SIP is to implement five prioritized e-navigation solutions in the period2015–2019 to provide industry with the harmonized information in order to start designingproducts and services to meet the e-navigation solutions.

IALA beacon DGNSS remains the internationally accepted means of providing DGNSS (DGPS atpresent) corrections and integrity information to maritime users. It is defined internationallywith regional harmonisation of frequencies and station planning through IALA and ITU. The GLAswill continue to provide this radiobeacon differential GNSS service. This service will bedeveloped in line with GPS and Galileo to provide not only comprehensive, but also cost effectiveaugmentation in terms of accuracy to monitor the performance of GPS and Galileo and to providetimely integrity warnings of service degradation.

4A.3 Transition phase to e-NavigationThe period covered by this review is specifically the next 5 years with an onward view intofuture requirements. Contemporary technologies already provide the capability to deliver muchof what IMO e-Navigation strategy envisages. However, if such technological advancementremains uncoordinated, there is a risk that the future development of the global shippingindustry will be hampered through lack of standardisation on board and on land, incompatibilitybetween vessels, and an increased and unnecessary level of complexity and cost. Therefore theGLA, through participation in IALA and other international organizations, will continue tocontribute to the harmonization process.

SECTION FOUR BACKGROUND TO REVIEW & FACTORS

4A.4 Human FactorsThe IMO e-Navigation Strategic Implementation Plan inclues provision for Guidelines on HumanCentered Design, Usability Testing, Evaluation and Assessment and Software Quality Assurance.There is an identifiable increase in marine accidents resulting from misuse of and over relianceon electronic display systems and technology for navigation and passage planning. In a numberof instances a series of clearly identifiable aids to navigation have been ignored in the run upto a serious incident. Increased attention needs to be paid to human factors issues relating tothe use of aids to navigation by modern mariners. Consideration needs to be given todissemination of information relating to AtoN as well as guidance on the expected performanceand appropriate use of different types of AtoN and improving the presentation of informationrelating to the use of such AtoN in the context of effective bridge resource management. TheGLA will work through IALA, IMO and other international bodies to develop appropriate guidanceon these issues.

4B Marine Traffic and Density

4B.1 AquacultureApplications for aquaculture licenses are made to the various Government Departmentsresponsible for such activities for almost every coastal region. Long-established salmon farminghas been augmented by the cultivation of other fin-fish, shellfish and sea weeds. The GLAs areconsulted by the responsible Government Departments, regarding the impact of aquaculture onthe safety of navigation in specific coastal areas. This includes the marking and lighting of fishfarms, floating structures, cages and trestles. Effective Maritime Spatial Planning will need tobe considered in a navigational context.

4B.2 FishingAlthough the traditional fishing industry has been subject to considerable change due to EU andgovernmental regulation, it remains an important industry throughout Britain and Ireland, bothinshore and off shore. Fishing vessel traffic and its interaction with other users is an importantconsideration in determining AtoN provision.

4B.3 Marine Leisure and TourismIn recent years the marine leisure industry has grown significantly. Satellite navigation systems,electronic chart systems and even integrated navigation systems are common but not alwaysfully understood as to the degree of accuracy provided and the possible vulnerabilities.Furthermore, the widespread availability of GPS and DGPS receivers, including Smart PhoneAPPS, is increasingly encouraging mariners of all classes to navigate either closer inshore orcloser to dangers, sometimes doing so in conditions of darkness and reduced visibility wherethey would not have previously ventured.

Large passenger cruising continues to be a growth industry. Ports are actively encouraging callsby cruise liners, resulting in very significant growth in port tonnage in some areas.

AIDS TO NAVIGATION 2015 - 2020

Smaller 100/200 passenger, 100 metre length, specialist cruise ships are also a feature aroundthe coast and increasingly at anchorages. The attraction for this type of trade is special-interesttours, calls at smaller ports and cruising the unspoilt coastlines.

Offshore islands continue to attract large numbers of tourists from the mainland harbours,carried in small ferries. Islands on our coasts are experiencing increasing traffic movements andvery substantial passenger volumes.

4B.4 Offshore Renewable Energy Installations (OREIs)Since the last review there has been a proliferation of applications for offshore windfarm sitesaround our coasts, this trend is set to continue as the UK and ROI Governments set targets forpower generation from renewable sources. Many more windfarms are in the planning or consentstage. These sites present a particular challenge to the General Lighthouse Authorities to ensurethey are marked correctly and do not impede safe navigation of vessels. This is especially sowhile in the construction phase.

In addition, there are experimental wave and tidal energy devices with numerous applicationsfor such sites. It is likely that, over the next five years, commercial production of wave and tidalenergy power will commence. These sites are also challenging to mark, particularly wavegenerators that are often difficult to detect due to low freeboard.

4B.5 Routing Measures and Traffic Separation Schemes (TSS)The practice of following predetermined routes has been operational for nearly 100 years. Theapplication of the idea to the Dover Straits in the 1960s has led to the modern TSS whereopposing traffic is separated into "lanes".

The International Maritime Organization is the specialist agency of the United Nationsresponsible for maritime safety. It is the only international body that can sanction measures onan international level concerning ship routeing and areas to be avoided by ships or certain classesof ships.

Submissions regarding route proposals or areas to be avoided are the responsibility ofGovernment, i.e. The Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport (DTTAS) in Ireland and theDepartment for Transport (DfT) in the UK. In the UK this role has been delegated to the Maritimeand Coastguard Agency, which is an Executive Agency of the DfT.

There are 10 TSSs adopted in the UK and Ireland. These are situated in the Approaches to TheHumber, Dover Straits, the English Channel, Scilly Isles, Smalls, Anglesey, North Channel (RathlinIsland), Fastnet, Tuskar and The Little Minch. Associated with TSSs there may also be InshoreTraffic Zones (ITZ).

A Deep Water Route for tankers exists west of the Outer Hebrides.

There may be a requirement for additional formal routeing measures as OREI are considered andimplemented.

SECTION FOUR BACKGROUND TO REVIEW & FACTORS

4C Technology Issues

4C.1 Automatic Identification System (AIS)AIS has been developed as an identification transponder system which can be used for monitoringship movements. AIS has been mandatory on SOLAS vessels greater than 300grt since 2004.

However, navigational safety can be enhanced by the use of AIS as an AtoN. An AtoN transmittingAIS is capable of display on the bridge ECDIS and Radar. Further information is available to themariner on the status of the AtoN such as its “health” and position.

It is also possible to use both shore based and floating aids to provide meteorological andhydrological information.

The GLAs have taken into account the fact that due to carriage requirements and equipmentstandards there are currently only a limited (but growing) number of Mariners capable of seeingthe AIS AtoN on a appropriate display.

There are a number of vessels who are not required to carry AIS, including the leisure, fishingand smaller commercial vessels, however a number of these vessels voluntarily carry AIS.

4C.2 Virtual AIS AtoNsA Virtual AIS AtoN is transmitted from an AIS station to establish an aid to navigation that doesnot physically exist. In this case, a digital information object will appear on the navigationalsystem (ECDIS, Radar or MKD) for a specified location, even though there is no physical AtoN. Anearby base station or AtoN station could broadcast this message. The AIS message will clearlyidentify this as a Virtual AIS AtoN.

Virtual AtoN are particularly useful in time-critical situations and in marking/delineating dynamicareas where navigational conditions change frequently or in applications where the use ofphysical aids is not practical or possible. For example, it may be appropriate to create a virtualAtoN to mark hazards to navigation on a temporary basis until a more permanent AtoN can beestablished. Alternatively, virtual aids to navigation may be established to mark areas wherenavigation conditions (for example; channel boundaries, overhead clearance, water levels)change frequently and would require dynamic marking.

There is however a growing recognition that AIS AtoN can be used on a longer term basis. IMOMSC.1/Circ.1473 (May 2014) notes that Virtual AIS AtoN should not be used for permanentlymarking an object for which Physical AtoN would be possible, but, may be considered for markingan object or feature where it is difficult or economically unreasonable to establish a PhysicalAtoN due to environmental constraints e.g. deep water, harsh sea conditions. Another case ofthe permanent application of Virtual AIS AtoN is for example marking a shoal that changes withtime due to current or weather effects; and, where the object or feature is impossible tomaintain as charted because of changes that occur over time.

AIDS TO NAVIGATION 2015 - 2020

4C.3 Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)LED technology is universal within the GLA buoy fleet. This has enabled the GLAs to standardiseand improve on the luminous ranges of their buoys while increasing reliability, longevity andreducing the power requirement. The improvement in luminous range is particularly welcomein areas suffering from high levels of background lighting. Another advantage of LED lanterns isthat they produce their full intensity almost instantaneously when switched on; unlike anincandescent lamp that has significant warm-up time. This allows a shorter “on time” to beused for LEDs that can save energy.

It is however noted that where major lights with a rotating beam are replaced by an LED light,the flash character should be reviewed in each case, as the loss of the loom of the light reducesthe users’ ability to retain spatial awareness and to take bearings of the light. This effect canbe reduced by increasing the flash length and/or reducing the eclipse.

The use of LEDs has also been extended to beacons and lighthouses with similar advantages tothose seen on buoys. Off the shelf omnidirectional LED AtoN lights can currently provide anominal range of around 18nM. However, ongoing research and development in LED technologyis constantly delivering improvements in light intensity, efficacy and optical technology. It isalready evident that such advances in technology are changing the way in which AtoN lights aredesigned. Modern LED AtoN light design is typically based on a modular approach givingadvantages in manufacture, QA, product flexibility and customer choice. If designed properly,a modular approach should also promote standardisation.

4D Future Issues

4D.1 2025 & BeyondIn 2010, the General Lighthouse Authorities published their Marine Aids to Navigation Strategyto 2025, known as “2025 and Beyond”. This strategy document looks carefully at trends innavigational practices and determines a future strategy for the provision of both visual andRadio Aids to Navigation.

The strategy takes into account the evolving shipboard practices and training requirements ofseafarers. Traditional navigational skills sometimes appear to be superseded by over reliance onnew technological advances however it is clear from in depth consultation with users thatlighthouses, buoys and beacons will continue to play a role in a balanced AtoN system.

As already mentioned above, position fixing using GNSS is prevalent amongst both commercialand leisure users. Radar and visual aids are seen as a terrestrial backup to satellite systems aswell as providing clear physical marking of wrecks, shoals and other hazards. In addition toproviding an appropriate backup for determination of position, physical AtoN are essential inensuring the Mariner maintains an appropriate level of spatial awareness to safely execute thevoyage.

2015 and Beyond will be reviewed in 2015 to refresh the GLA long term strategic view.

Area 1 – Isle of Man, North Channel and ClydeThe Isle of Man, lying midway between the coasts ofCumbria and NorthernIreland, mainly consists ofmountains and hills witheast-west valleys. TheNorth of the island is lowlying and flat with banksand shallows off shorewhilst the southern end ofthe island is heavilyindented by small bayswith isolated offshoredrying rocks.

The south west coast ofScotland from Solway toKintyre starts at the mosteastern part of the Solwayas low lying with shallowwaters, numerous dryingbanks and shifting sands.As the coast runs west itbecomes mainly bold androcky, indented by baysrising to steep cliffs at theMull of Galloway and alongthe Rhinns edging theNorth Channel, which isdeep and unobstructed butexperiences strong tidalflow. The Firth of Clyde, also deep and generally unobstructed, has a high and rocky coast andsome sandy beaches on its eastern shore. The Firth has a number of rocky islands rising from itsdeep waters; Arran, Sanda and Pladda on its N and W edge and Ailsa Craig in the middle of anotherwise clear channel.

Principal ports in the area are Douglas serving the needs of the Isle of Man with Ro Ro and fastferry, local fishing (landing 5600 tonnes in 2013) and coastal bulk cargoes. Kirkcudbright remainsan important fishing port for shell fish (landing 5400 tonnes in 2013). The new Loch Ryan Portand Cairnryan handle Ro Ro and HSC ferries for Northern Ireland (4.1 million tonnes /year) whilstthe Clyde ports handle container traffic, coal imports, crude oil imports, petroleum productexports and bulk materials totalling 14.8 million tonnes per year along with Cruise and MODvessels. Troon handles HSC ferries to and Larne, and Campbeltown supports timber exports,

fishing and approx 200 small general cargo vessels per year, in addition to a NATO fuel jetty anda ferry service to Ardrossan. Smaller ports in the area serve the leisure industry, smaller fishingvessels and occasional coastal trade.

There is significant vehicle ferry traffic, linking Arran, Bute and Cumbrae to the mainland, andconnecting the heaviliy Upper Firth of Clyde. Passenger only ferries link Campbeltown toBallycastle, and Gourock to Kilcreggan.

Traffic of all types (passenger, cargo, leisure and Government) and sizes in significant quantityoperate throughout this area, either departing or arriving at local ports or as through traffictransiting the Irish sea, passing west of the Isle of Man and through the North Channel in bothdirections. Additionally, traffic proceeds to and from major Irish and English ports, passing southand north of the Isle of Man. Fishing occurs throughout the area. There are a substantial numberof leisure users who sail in the Firth of Clyde, with smaller numbers in Loch Ryan, the SolwayFirth and Isle of Man.

TSS: There is no TSS or routing measures in this area.

AtoNs provided: 22 lights, 16 Buoys, 3 Racons, 3 unlit Beacons, 5 AIS.

DGPS: DGPS Coverage is provided for in this area by the Earls Hill (Stirling) and Point Lynastransmitters.

Future developments in the area that may affect AtoN provision post 2015 review are thepotential siting of a windfarm in Wigtown Bay and a tidal energy development off the Mull ofGalloway.

The west of Scotland presents an almost uninterrupted succession of deep indentations, frontedby bold rocky cliffs and headlands forming islands, narrows and sea lochs. Drying rocks and reefsare plentiful quite often with deep navigable waters immediately adjacent. The Mull of Kintyreto Ardnamurchan coast line is no exception exposed directly to the Atlantic Ocean and the fullforce of winter gales the coast is frequently obscured by low cloud and driving rain. Strong tidalstreams, and eddies can be experienced in narrows and inshore.

Principal ports in the area are Oban and Fort William (Corpach). The former provides a majorferry hub for routes to the islands, fishing, small numbers of general bulk cargo, fish farmsupport (feed and smolt) and frequent seasonal cruise vessel traffic along with a substantialnumber of leisure craft. Corpach handles bulk timber and quarry products while Fort William atthe S end of the Caledonian Canal sees significant leisure traffic. Throughout the area

particularly on the islands there are a number of smaller ferry and coaster berths, fishingharbours and leisure craft moorings & marinas. A quarry terminal at Glensanda operates largebulk carriers.

Local lifeline ferries operate Kennacraig to Port Ellen and Port Askaig; Oban to Colonsay, PortAskaig, Craignure, Lismore, Coll, Tiree, Barra & South Uist; across the Sound of Mull and to Ionaand Gigha. There are further council operated ferries at Corran, Lismore, Luing, Easdale, FortWilliam and Jura.

Traffic patterns have not substantially changed since 2010 other than a significant increase incruise vessels visiting the area. Traffic of all types: passenger ferry, cargo, leisure andGovernment in small but significant quantity operate throughout this area either departing orarriving at local ports providing essential transport for the economy of the area.

Through traffic falls into two types. Larger vessels remain within the TSS to/from the NorthChannel and keep to the SW of Skerryvore before turning north to the Minch or headingnorthwest for the deep water route or west. Smaller coastal vessels often choose to pass throughthe sound of Islay and to the east of Coll and Tiree. Fishing occurs throughout the area.

TSS: A TSS lies between Rathlin Island and Mull of Kintyre for vessels approaching/exiting theNorth Channel.

AtoNs provided: 44 lights, 51 Buoys, 2 Racons, 1 unlit Beacon, 7 AIS.

Between Ardnamurchanand Cape Wrath the almostuninterrupted successionof deep indentations,fronted by bold rocky cliffsand headlands, formingislands, narrows and sealochs continue. Strong tidalstreams and eddies can beexperienced in narrowsand inshore.

A chain of about 30 islandsknown as the Hebrides liesparallel and a shortdistance from themainland. These islandsare in two groups theOuter and Inner Hebridesseparated by the Sea ofthe Hebrides and the LittleMinch. Further north theOuter Hebrides are separated from the mainland by the North Minch. The outer islands areexposed to the Atlantic Ocean. To the west of the Outer Hebrides, which are generally low lying,the coastal bank extends up to l5 miles offshore and in places rock pinnacles extend beyond thebank. Outside of the deep water route surveys are incomplete. The passage between the Innerand Outer Hebrides affords some shelter from the Atlantic but depths within the Little Minch arevery irregular and several banks some of which are extensive lie across the NE entrance.Consequently traffic routing and reporting measures are in place. The Little Minch in badweather forms a dangerous sea area due to the wind, tidal streams and uneven nature of thebottom producing high and turbulent seas. The sound of Harris provides a route from LittleMinch to the Atlantic for coastal craft.

Throughout the area there are numerous small ports and harbours supporting the general localeconomy or specific operation where direct road access is poor. Collectively they provide forsignificant levels of trade. Ports such as Mallaig, Ullapool and Stornaway provide for ferryterminals for routes to the islands, fishing, coastal general bulk cargo, fish farm support andfrequent seasonal cruise vessel traffic. Timber is exported from mainland ports such as Kishornwith substantial quarry traffic also occurring. Local life line ferries operate Mallaig to Eigg,Muck, Canna & Rhum; Mallaig to Armadale; Ullapool to Stornaway; Uig to Tarbert andLochmaddy; Berneray to Leverburgh; Oban to Lochboisdale and Castlebay and Barra to Eriskay,with a winter service also linking Mallaig and Lochboisdale. There are also local ferries operatingin Loch Nevis and between Glenelg and Kylerhea (Skye).

Traffic patterns have not substantially changed since 2010 other than a significant increase incruise vessels visiting the area. Traffic of all types - passenger ferry, cargo, leisure andGovernment in small but significant quantity operate throughout this area either departing or

Throughoutthe area but particularly in the southern half there is substantial seasonal leisure craft activity.Through traffic consists of large and smaller crude and product tankers, to and from North Seaand Flotta, Scapa and the Forth, oilfield support vessels repositioning to and from the North Sea,seasonal cruise ship traffic up to and including Queen Mary II, Coaster trade to/from Orkney,Shetland or east coat ports, or Scandinavia. The routing measures for the Minch and west of theHebrides largely govern through traffic patterns. With larger laden tankers over 35000 DWT usethe deep water route west of the Hebrides but when in ballast often choose to navigate throughthe Minch north bound. All other traffic generally uses the Minch north and south bound. Fishingoccurs throughout the area.

TSS: There is a TSS at Neist Point to separate north and south bound traffic in the Little Minch.IMO approved routing measures are in place in the Little Minch and west of Outer Hebrides.

AtoNs provided: 56 lights, 65 Buoys, 9 Racons, 13 unlit Beacons, 21 AIS.

The north coast of Scotland from Cape Wrath to Dunnet Head is mainly heavily indented cliffswith a few off lying dangers inshore.

The Orkney Islands, a group of more than 50 islands separated from mainland Scotland by thePentland Firth are mainly low lying except for Hoy. Their coasts are much indented and generallyrocky but there are also extensive sandy beaches especially on the NE side of the group. On theSW side the coasts consist of steep cliffs in places reaching 300m. About midway between Southand North Ronaldsay the Orkney Islands are divided into two parts by the Stronsay Firth andWestray Firth which together form a continuous passage running NW and SE linking the Atlanticto E & W Orkney Islands. Scapa Flow, virtually a small inland sea, lies in the south part of thegroup with navigable entrances to the Atlantic and Pentland Firth.

The principal ports in the area lie to the east with the Orkneys dominating, collectively handling1.05 million tonnes of cargo per annum. This includes ship to ship crude oil transfers which occurin Scapa Flow. The main ports are Kirkwall and Stromness, but throughout the Orkneys there arenumerous small mixed use ports and harbours supporting the general local economy and thelarge number of inter island ferry routes or specific operations. Fishing, coastal general bulkcargo, fish farm support and frequent seasonal cruise vessel visits along with oil field relatedvessels are all part of port activity. Local ferries outside of LLA waters operate Scrabster toStromness, Aberdeen to Kirkwall and Stromness, and Gill's Bay to South Ronaldsay. Trafficpatterns have not substantially changed since 2010 other than a significant increase in cruisevessels visiting the area.

The Pentland Firth is bordered by the rocky mainland coast to the south from Dunnet Head toDuncansby head which is indented by numerous bays and coves. The Orkney Islands provide itsnorthern boundary with similar rocky coast around Hoy, South Walls and South Ronaldsay. Withinthe Firth its deep waters are interspersed with the islands of Stroma, Swona and PentlandSkerries. The latter, with the associated 10 mile long narrow bank substantially reducing depthsand results in a funnel ling effect. Tidal streams within the firth are renowned and can reachup to 12 knots creating tidal races and eddies which can be dangerous particularly incombination with adverse weather. Substantial seas occur (wind against tide) in circumstancesof strong westerly or SE winds. Consequently reporting measures are in place and the Firth maybe closed to some or all traffic by HMCG.

The principal port in the area excluding the Orkneys is Scrabster which handles 12,700 tonnesof fish a year, has a Ro Ro facility for the ferry to Stromness and handles local coastal cargoes,including fuel, timber & rock salt. In addition oil industry vessels utilise the lay by facility andseasonal cruise vessel visit numbers are growing. Wick further round the coast provides similarbut smaller facilities. An HSC ferry operates between Gills Bay and St Margarets Hope, and insummer a passenger ferry operates beteen John O’Groats and South Ronaldsay. The PentlandFirth remains a key route for UK and international traffic.

Traffic patterns have not substantially changed since 200S other than a significant increase incruise vessels visiting the area Traffic of all types - passenger ferry, cruise, cargo, andGovernment in small but significant a quantity operate to and from the Orkneys and Scrabstervia the Pentland Firth.

The Shetland Islands, a group of more than 100 islands, holms and rocks, lie with SumburghHead as their southern extremity and stretch some 60 miles north to Muckle Flugga. Theprincipal islands are Mainland, Yell and Unst. The Shetland Islands are for the most part relativelyhigh, undulating, fringed by bold cliffs and separated by narrow sounds. Toward the N end of thegroup Yell and Bluemull Sounds both navigable passages run, N&S through the islands betweenMainland and Yell, and Yell and Unst respectively. The high and rocky island of Fair Isle alsoforms part of the Shetlands dividing the otherwise deep unobstructed passage collectively knownas Fair Isle Channel between Orkney and Shetland Islands. The NLB is responsible for all butport AtoNs in this area.

Principal ports in the area are Sullom Voe whose oil terminal handles 7.4 million tonnes of cargoa year and Lerwick an important mixed use port serving the needs of the Shetlands populationand the oil industry.

Ferries operate Lerwick to Kirkwall and Aberdeen. Numerous Localferries operate throughout the islands. Fishing and inshore fish farming occur extensivelythroughout the area.

Traffic patterns changes since 2010 have seen a significant reduction in oil traffic and anincrease in cruise vessels visiting the area. Traffic of all types passenger ferry, cargo, leisure,fishing and fish farm and Government in significant quantity operate throughout this area interisland or either departing or arriving at local ports from the Orkneys, mainland Scotland orScandinavia. There is significant, and growing, oil industry traffic to the west of Shetland aswell as the N North Sea with vessels transiting through the Shetlands and using its ports. Thereremains substantial tanker traffic to/from Sullom Voe.

The Fair Isle Channel remains an important route for Scandinavian trade bound for the Atlantic,and for tankers loaded and in ballast for Sullom Voe or in transit to/from the west.

TSS: There are no TSS in the area, IMO approved routing is in place in the Fair Isle channel.Areas to be avoided by laden tankers are in place around the Orkney Islands, Fair Isle andShetlands.

DGPS: DGPS Coverage is provided for in this area by the Butt of Lewis, Sumburgh and Girdle Nesstransmitters, with overlapping coverage from Torshavn in the Faeroe Islands.

Future developments that will affect AtoN provision post 2015:- Sullom Voe, established in the 1970s, originally had a 30 year intended life. A number ofsignificant AtoN were established specifically for tanker traffic with the intention that these bediscontinued when the terminal ceased to operate. The terminal life has now been extended andwill continue to operate for the foreseeable future. The associated AtoNs continue to berequired.

The main proposals for change within this area are:

From Clythness the coast runs in a generally SSW direction mainly composed of rocky cliffsfringed by drying rocks and boulders but are generally clear of dangers beyond 2 cables fromshore. Further south the coast line changes with cliffs reducing and receding into a large bightwhich forms the approach to the Dornoch Firth. At the eastern end of this bight lies Tarbat Nessat the low lying extremity of the peninsula. Heading south from Tarbat Ness the coast againbecomes rocky forming cliffs with hills behind which gradually increase in height to the SW withthe entrance to Cromarty Firth forming a distinct cleft. At Rosemarkie these cliffs lead inshoreand the coast line becomes a low lying tongue of sand and shingle forming the north shore tothe Inverness Firth. The southern seaward shore of the Inverness Firth leads east and is initiallylow lying and sandy with drying banks. From Scar Nose east rocky cliffs, fringed by drying reefsprevail with some sandy stretches to Rattray Head. The Beatrice oilfield and small offshore windfarm lie within the Moray Firth to the NE of Tarbat Ness whilst numerous oil installations lie tothe east of Rattray Head.

Principal ports: Cromarty Firth handles 3.4 million tonnes per annum consisting of largely crudeoil from the Nigg oil terminal and ship to ship transfers at the terminal, general bulk agriculturaland timber cargoes. Oil industry support is provided and the Firth is a major semi submersiblerig layup and maintenance location. Cruise vessels of all sizes are regular seasonal visitors.Inverness recently expanded as a mixed use port handling coastal fuel, timber, grain etc as wellas an important east coast marina at the head of the Caledonian Canal. The coast to the easthas a number of fishing harbours with the largest, Fraserburgh, landing 25,000 tonnes in 2013.Some of these harbours support limited other mixed use and marinas.

Fishing occurs extensively throughout this area.

From Rattray Head the coastruns in a generally SSWdirection to Fifeness. The Isle ofMay lies toward the centre ofthe approach to the Firth ofForth. The coast north of theForth is mainly composed ofrocky cliffs, fringed by dryingreefs. There are several sandystretches from Rattray Head toPeterhead, north of Aberdeenand north of Montrose as well asthe Mouth of the Tay.

The Island of Fidra lies to theSW of the Isle of May fromwhere the coast runs ESE to StAbb’s Head. From Fidra south,the coast is a mixture of rockycliffs fringed with reefs andsandy bays. There are a numberof outlying banks and deepsalong the coast most notablyBell Rock lying 9.5 miles SE ofWhiting Ness.

There are a number of offshoreinstallations offshore to theeast. This stretch of Coast ishome to a number of significantports – Peterhead, as well as theUK's largest fishing port landing 113000 tonnes in 2013, is a major oil industry support base andsmall marina. Aberdeen is the UK primary oil industry support facility, as well as a ferry port andgeneral bulk cargo port handling 4.2 million tonnes per annum. Montrose provides mixed generalbulk and oil industry support facilities. Dundee has similar but larger facilities and also handleslarger crude tankers for the small refinery in the port and cruise vessels.

The Firth of Forth under one port authority provides a number of ports and terminals whichcollectively handle some 26 miliion tonnes per annum. The Forth is a major petroleum portexporting crude oil in up to VLCC size vessels as well as handling products and gas shipments.Large numbers of feeder container vessels visit whilst general bulk facilities are at a number oflocations dealing with timber, coal, aggregates etc. An International ferry operates from Rosyth

The area covers three sub-areas, the NE Coast; the Wash, which includes the Humber; andYarmouth which covers the East Coast of Norfolk and Suffolk Coast.

Throughout the area developments of Offshore Wind Farms for Rounds 1, 2, 3 and the possibleproposed round 1 & 2 extensions may affect AtoN provision post the 2015 review. There may alsobe increased construction activity and traffic associated with offshore renewable energy sites.

The NE Coast area from Berwick to Spurn Head is one in which there are numerous dangers, inthe form of off-lying Islands and isolated rocks. These, together with some off-lying banks, aremainly encountered within the 20m-depth contour. The most prominent coastal feature is theheadland to the north of Bridlington, marked by Flamborough Head Lighthouse. Offshore, tidalstreams are regular and rarely exceed 1 knot at springs. The major commercial ports of Berwick;Blyth; Tyne; Sunderland; Seaham; Tees & Hartlepool lie within this region, together withnumerous fishing and leisure ports/harbours.

The Wash area from Spurn to Cromer has two major outlets, the Humber and Wash into whichnumerous rivers drain. The estuaries are both bordered by large flats. South of the Humber, thenavigable channels are restricted by numerous off-lying shoals and the coastline is low lying.Tidal streams are stronger and the tidal range at springs in the Wash increases to 6m. Trafficvolumes partly due to wind farm construction vessels and work boats have increased in thisarea; the shallow waters with numerous sandbanks and mobile areas of the seabed requireregular surveys and therefore subject to regular review. A number of commercial ports lie on theRiver Humber and on the rivers flowing into the Wash, in addition, in the southern part of thearea there are a number of small fishing ports/harbours. Within this sub-area offshore productionplatforms and drilling rigs are encountered.

The Yarmouth area is dominated by constantly changing sandbanks and shoals close offshore anda low-lying featureless coastline. The banks are subject to frequent surveys and buoyage markingthe navigable channels is subject to regular review. Depths are shallower, over the off-lyingbanks in the vicinity of Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft. Tidal ranges and rates are less than thoseencountered in the Wash.

The area covers three distinctive sub-areas, Harwich, Estuary and Dover.

Throughout the area developments of Offshore Wind Farms for Rounds 1, 2, 3 and the possibleproposed round 1 & 2 extensions may affect AtoN provision post the 2015 review. There may alsobe increased construction activity and traffic associated with offshore renewable energy sites.

The Harwich area coastline is generally low lying and featureless with outflows from severalmajor rivers. Offshore there are numerous shoals many of which have less than 5 metres overthem, with narrow navigable channels between. Tidal streams generally follow the direction ofthe coast and overfalls may be encountered. There is a high level of leisure craft activity basedin the Harwich/Ipswich area; the River Deben; Orford Haven, River Colne and the Blackwater’s.Commercial traffic for the ports of Felixstowe, Ipswich and Harwich, includes ferries and cruisevessels using Harwich International Port.

The Estuary area is dominated by outflows from the Thames, Medway and The Swale as well asby numerous off-lying shoals with narrow navigable channels between, some of which aresubject to constant change. Consequently they are surveyed at frequent intervals and thebuoyage marking the navigable channels is subject to regular review. The main channels aremarked to 10 or 12 metres, where depths permit. The maximum tidal steams encountered are2.9 knots and tend to follow the direction of the channels. Maximum tidal ranges of some 3mat the seaward limits of the area increase to over 5m in the approaches to the River Thames.The major commercial ports of London; Medway and Whitstable and the smaller ports of

The Dover Strait is characterizedby shallow water with dangerousoffshore banks, shoals, andnumerous wrecks which restrictvessels navigating through thearea. The area comprises ofthree major headlands, with theexception of Dungeness, theseheadlands are bounded by steepcliff features of rock or chalkcliffs. The water is generallyshallow to the extent thatcertain large vessels cannot proceed through the Strait at their maximum draft. Tidal streamrates reach a maximum of 3.7 Knots off the Goodwin’s, and are generally in the direction of theoff lying shoals and banks, the area is also one of high fishing and leisure craft activity.

Due to the high volume of traffic, the constriction of the through traffic, caused by the banksand shoals, coupled with the high volume of crossing ferry traffic which includes High SpeedCraft, between the Channel ports and the Continental ports, the area is one of high collision risk.The bulk of the deep-sea vessels trading to North European ports from other ports of the worldtraverse through the Dover Strait.

The major commercial ports of Ramsgate; Dover; Newhaven and Shoreham lie within this region,together with fishing and leisure ports/harbours.

TSS: There are IMO recognized TSS in the Sunk area and northern approaches to the ThamesEstuary and in the Straits of Dover and adjacent waters. Within these schemes Deep Draft Routeshave been established. An Inshore Traffic Zone (ITZ) lies to the landward of the TSS through theDover Straits.

Within the area, Offshore Wind Farms for Round 3 may affect AtoN provision post the 2015review. There may also be increased construction activity and traffic associated with offshorerenewable energy sites.

The Wight area has three major headlands, Portland Bill, Durlston Head and St Catherine's Point,two bays and marked channels to the West and East of The Solent and Southampton Water. Thecoastline is distinctive and radar conspicuous, the Shambles bank is a danger to vesselsnavigating in the vicinity of Weymouth Bay; The Needles Channel affords a particularly narrowentrance to the Western Solent for commercial vessels, with outcrops of isolated rocks off TheNeedles to the east and the Shingles Bank to the West which is subject to movement at itssouthern extremity.

The tidal streams are greater in strength in this sub-area; off St Catherine's they can reach3.8kts. Tidal ranges are greater towards the French coast than on the English coast, for example,at the NW Minquiers Lighted Buoy these are in the region of 9.75m. Tidal streams are very strongoff Portland Bill, up to 7kts, and may cause heavy seas. Strong winds in the opposite directionto the tidal streams can lead to steep seas.

Crossing traffic between the English and French ports can lead to increased risk of collision withtraffic bound to and from the Dover Strait TSS. Principal ferry routes run between Weymouth;Poole and the Solent to the Channel Islands, Cherbourg and Northern Spain. The area also hasa very high level of small craft activity, including fishing and leisure.

The Channel area includes the Channel Islands and the Minquiers Plateau. These are surroundedby numerous rocks and shoals, which present dangers to all classes of mariner. The tidal streamsin the Channel Islands are strong, and tidal ranges increase towards the French Coast. As is thecase with the Wight sub-area, crossing traffic between the ports on the south coast of England,the Channel Islands and the French Ports can lead to the increased risk of collision. High SpeedCraft operate on these routes and between ports in the Channel Islands.

The Penzance area coastline presents a distinctive radar target at the rock headlands of theLizard and Start Point, with isolated rocks encountered in the bays of Penzance, Lyme Bay andTor Bay. Tidal streams off The Lizard are reasonably strong. There are numerous ports andanchorages where shelter can be sought on this part of the coast. However, apart fromDartmouth and Tor Bay, there is little shelter during strong SW Winds Eastward of Start Pointwhere in conditions of strong offshore winds and ground swell, entering some of the harboursin Mounts Bay is not recommended. From Penzance Bay to Lyme Bay there are a number ofcommercial ports, as well as small tidal harbours. Fishing and leisure craft activity is alsoencountered within the harbours to varying degrees.

The Landsend area also presents a distinctive radar target, having similar features to thePenzance sub-area, such as bold headlands and rocky cliffs, which are steep too. From St. Ivesthe coastline is lower and recedes around St Ives Bay to Godrevy Point.

The south-western most danger of the Isles of Scilly is marked by Bishop Rock Lighthouse, whichprovides a major landfall for vessels approaching the British Isles. The tidal streams around theIsles of Scilly are not that strong, however, they do increase in strength off the mainpromontories.

This area is divided intothree sub-areas, Swansea,Cardiff and Milford. Thelatter area borders ontoCIL jurisdiction, andtherefore has been thesubject of jointdiscussions.

The Swansea area coversthe Bristol Channel fromjust West of HartlandPoint to Worms Headeastwards to a line drawnbetween Barry andWatchet. It includes themajor headlands ofHartland Point, Bull Point,Nash Point and Worms Head. Swansea and Barnstaple Bays, together with the headlands providea radar conspicuous coastline. Swansea Bay has extensive shoals, extending west from its eastside, parallel to the main shipping route.

Ground Swell from the Atlantic may be encountered, except when easterly winds have prevailed,the effects of this swell are felt mainly on the North shore as far East as Swansea Bay. Tidalstream rates and ranges increase as one proceeds up the Bristol Channel. Typical speeds offMorte Point are 3.2 knots with tidal ranges of 7.8m compared with a speed of 4.4 knots and arange of 10.2m off the Breaksea Buoy.

The area includes the commercial ports of Swansea, Port Talbot and Neath Harbour, as well asthe harbours of Barnstable and Ilfracombe and other smaller harbours, where fishing and leisurecraft operate. Ilfracombe is a focal point for small passenger traffic vessels plying between themainland and Lundy Island.

The Cardiff area covers the eastern part of the Bristol Channel and the Severn Estuary. Thecoastline decreases in height east of Nash Point, and east of Hurlstone Point. In general, thecoastline is low lying; however, there are areas of higher coastline with cliffs. It is indented tothe south by Bridgewater Bay.

Flat Holm and Steep Holm Islands lie in the approaches to the Severn Estuary, a number of banksand shoals are encountered, together with mud flats. The Bristol Channel in this sub-areanarrows from approximately 10 miles wide at the Western end to 2 miles at the commencementof the River Severn. Tidal stream rates are high, reaching a maximum of 8 knots. And tidal rangesincrease considerably as one proceeds eastward, reading a maximum of some 12m at the Elbowand N W Elbow buoy stations. The area also has a very high level of small craft activity, includingfishing and leisure.

Within this area are the Ports of Bridgwater; Bristol; Gloucester and Sharpness; Newport; Cardiff;Barry; Port Talbot; Neath and Swansea. Vessel activity at Bridgwater may increase due to theconstruction Hinkley Point ‘C’ Nuclear Power Station.

The Milford area encompasses the Welsh Coast from the Burry Inlet round to Cardigan andincludes the major headlands of St Govan's Head, St Ann's Head, St David's Head and StrumbleHead. The coastline is radar conspicuous, consisting of moderately high cliffs, indented byseveral bays and inlets, including the Barry Inlet, Carmarthen Bay, Milford Haven, St Brides Bay,and Fishguard Bay. This is an area of numerous off-lying islands and rocks, including CaldeyIsland, The Smalls, Skokholm, Grassholm, The Bishops and Clerks and Ramsey Island. Shiftingsands are encountered over much of the Burry Inlet and depths are therefore subject to frequentchange. The harbours of Burry Port and Llanelli, Tenby and Saundersfoot are mainly used byfishing and leisure craft, as are the Afon Taf and Tywi.

Safe water anchorages are available off Caldey Island and subject to suitable weather conditionsin Rhossili Bay. Milford Haven provides good shelter and a harbour of refuge. The Helwick Sandsshould be given a wide birth, as Westerly winds against the tide cause heavy seas and the Eastgoing tidal stream sets NE towards the sands. An area to be avoided has been establishedenclosing The Smalls and Grassholm. In addition laden tankers over 10 000GRT should not usethe channel between Grassholm and Skomer Island unless moving between St. Brides Bay andMilford Haven. In the vicinity of The Smalls, tidal stream rates vary from 3kts to 5kts. Due tothe exposed nature of the coast, tidal races and constricted channels are encountered aroundSkokholm, Skomer, and Grassholm and between The Bishops and Clerks and Ramsey Island.Tiderips, dangerous to small craft, are also encountered near shoals and banks south of MilfordHaven and amongst some of the aforementioned Islands.

Milford Haven is the main commercial harbour in this area, and the port is used by a largenumber of vessels, ranging from deep draught vessels laden with oil and gas to small pleasurecraft. From Fishguard Harbour cross channel passenger and cargo traffic operates to Ireland.Small craft and fishing vessels also operate out of the harbour.

The Menai Strait separates the Isle of Anglesey from the mainland. Tidal rates arestrongest off the main headlands, with races and tide rips. The port of Holyhead operates cargoand passenger service to Ireland. Harbours and ports in the Menai Strait provide commercial, aswell as fishing and leisure craft, facilities.

The Irish Sea area comprises a number of bays, affording suitable shelter for small coasters,fishing and leisure craft. The area is dominated by Liverpool Bay and Morecambe Bay, into each

of which flow a number of rivers. The area from Great Ormes Head to the Point of Ayr comprisesa combination of low-lying coastline, backed by high land on the North Wales Coast. Rigs andproduction platforms are situated in both Liverpool and Morecambe Bays. A number of shoals andbanks are encountered in the approaches to the Dee Estuary and the River Mersey. Liverpool Bay,the Ribble Estuary and Morecambe Bay all feature low lying coastlines, with considerable areasof drying sands. North of St Bees Head the coastline is deeply indented by several bays, whichare wide and separated by bold headlands. A large proportion of the Solway Firth has continuallyshifting drying sandbanks with channels in-between. Tidal stream rates off the entrance to theSolway Firth are up to 2kts. These rates increase to 4kts as the Firth is approached.

The main commercial ports are Holyhead; Mostyn; Liverpool; Garston; Manchester; Fleetwood;Lancaster; Heysham Barrow; Workington and Silloth. Some of this is ferry traffic to and fromNorthern Ireland and the Isle of Man. A number of other smaller ports/harbours in the sub-areaare principally used by fishing and leisure craft.

TSS: There are two IMO recognized TSS in the area: off Skerries and in Liverpool Bay.

Area 15 - Fastnet to Tuskar

The Fastnet to Tuskar coastline particularly in the West of the region, is high and rocky with boldcliffs and headlands. The eastern area has the Coningbeg rocks and Saltee Islands projecting offthe coast.

The main commercial ports in the area are Cork, Waterford and New Ross within the WaterfordRiver estuary. The approaches to these ports are comparatively straightforward. However, theapproaches to smaller leisure and fishing ports, anchorages and bays can be difficult, often withdangerous rocks and reefs.

The main fishing ports are at Schull, Baltimore, Union Hall, Cork, Ballycotton, Dungarvan,Youghal, Dunmore East, and Kilmore Quay. There is an increasing mix of commercial fishing andcommercial/leisure angling.

The main leisure craft centres are at Crookhaven, Schull, Baltimore, Union Hall, Cork,Ballycotton, Dungarvan, Youghal, Dunmore East, Waterford and Kilmore Quay.

The Fastnet Rock is a common waypoint for transatlantic traffic eastbound for the Irish Sea orBristol Channel ports or for westbound traffic to North America.

The significant dangers in the offshore route are the two Kinsale Head Gas production platforms,which are subject to a 500m-exclusion zone and Fastnet Rock.

The Tuskar to Baily region features a seriesof shallow sandbanks. The coastline, withthe exception of some prominentheadlands, is low lying. This, combinedwith the distance offshore of thedangerous banks, necessitates a relianceon floating aids.

The sandbanks extend up to nine miles offthe coast with some drying out at lowwater. These banks are subject tomovement following southerly or easterlygales and are gradually changing,requiring ongoing survey in order to ensurethe buoyage is in the optimum position.

In assessing the AtoN requirements in thisarea, it should be borne in mind that, dueto the prevailing south-westerly winds,many smaller or lower powered vessels, oncoastal passage, seek the shelter of theland during heavy weather from thisdirection, and thus pass well inside mostof the off-lying sandbanks.

The main commercial ports in the area areRosslare and Dublin. There are smallerports at Arklow and Wicklow. Theapproaches to all these ports are throughchannels between sandbanks.

The main fishing ports are at Rosslare, Wexford, Arklow and Wicklow. There is also a significantangling industry.

The main leisure centres are at Wexford, Courtown, Arklow, Wicklow, Greystones, Bray and DunLaoghaire.

The principal shipping routes through the region are:► A through route for vessels bound for the North Channel or Ports on the West Coast of the

U.K.► An offshore route to Dublin Bay.► A coastal route to Dublin Bay and Ports between Rosslare and Dublin.► The East/West corridors through the Banks.

Within the coastal route are a number of internal channels, the North and South Shears, the RuskChannel, and channels between the Codling, India and Arklow Banks and the Blackwater andLucifer Banks.

This area has a coastline, which canbe characterised throughout itsentire length by a very low-lyingfeatureless foreshore. There is onlyone notable exception to this andthat is the area of the high coastalslopes of the Mourne Mountains,that border the sea on the westernshore of Dundrum Bay.

Through-traffic in the Irish Sea, onpassage between the CodlingSuperbuoy, or Kish Tower, and theSouth Rock superbuoy, transits wellto the east of the coast.

However, there are many harboursand ports in the area, whichgenerate considerable coastaltraffic, including commercial,fishing and leisure craft.

The principal commercial ports areDrogheda, Dundalk, Greenore, andWarrenpoint.

The principal fishing harbours areHowth, Rush, Skerries, Balbriggan,Port Oriel (Clogher Head), Kilkeeland Annalong.

The principal leisure boat harbours are Howth, Malahide, Rush, Skerries, Balbriggan, CarlingfordLough, Kilkeel and Annalong.

Most of the ports in this region have tidal limitations or restrictions, as the foreshore throughoutits length is shelving and shallow, consisting mainly of sand and gravel but with some off-lyingrocks in the vicinity of the south Down coast and the Skerries/Loughshinny area of the northCounty Dublin coast.

St. John's Point, Co. Down to Rathlin Islandforms the west side of the North Channel,which carries seaborne traffic through arelatively narrow seaway.

This coastal area can be divided roughly intwo for the purpose of describing thenatural features of its terrain.

With the exceptions of the Maidens Rocksand Hunter Rock, both of which aremarked, the coast from Fair Head to BlackHead, at the north-eastern entrance toBelfast Lough, is quite steep-to, with deepwater off, and no navigational hazards tospeak of.

However, on passing South of BelfastLough, the coast from Mew Island to theentrance to Strangford Lough is low-lyingwith offshore reefs and hazards. A newpinnacle depth of 8.0 metres has beendiscovered at the Rigg Bank approximately2.2nM East of Donaghadee.

There are no inshore channels, as all craftkeep well east of the major waypoint ofthe South Rock Type 1 buoy.

In the case of Donaghadee Sound, thisbuoyed passage has a number of shoalpatches. It is not generally suitable for large vessels but does attract a considerable amount ofBelfast traffic, which would otherwise be obliged to pass East and North of Mew Island.

Belfast and Strangford Loughs are the only two inlets, which offer shelter to vessels seekingrefuge. Belfast Lough is open to the East and is of limited use in this respect. However, AudleyRoads, in Strangford Lough, provides an all-weather anchorage for smaller commercial vessels,fishing boats and leisure craft.

There are two commercial ports, Belfast and Larne.

The Fishing ports are Kilkee, Killough, Portaferry and Portavogie.

The North Irish coast between Rathlin East Lighthouse and Tory Island is relatively clear ofhazards to navigation.

The three principal islands which lie off this coast, Rathlin, Inishtrahull and Tory, are eachprovided with sufficient AtoNs, to guide the deeper draught, North Atlantic traffic, bound in orout of the North Channel, well north of any inshore hazards which lie along the coast.

As far as the needs of inshore traffic is concerned, the mainland coast can be described as aseries of prominent headlands, jutting out into comparatively deep water, with few exceptions,and a number of very deep, navigable inlets, the principal ones being Lough Foyle, Lough Swilly,Mulroy Bay and Sheephaven.

On the eastern section of the coast, Rathlin Sound is an important passage for shipping, whichis well served by the lighthouses at Rathlin West and Rue Point. The tidal streams and overfallsin this area can be strong and turbulent and these two AtoNs, at either end of the sound, cangreatly assist the safe transit of inshore traffic.

Inshore navigation between Inishtrahull Sound and Rathlin Island does not pose any particularproblems. Any identifiable hazards are minor and so close to the mainland that they do not callfor attention beyond that which is already provided. There are plans to mark Cruise Shipanchorages off Rathlin Island.

Fanad Head and Malin Head are also relatively free of immediate dangers except for theLimeburner shoal. However, Inishtrahull Sound, which lies close East of Malin Head can be a

treacherous sea passage for smaller vessels in certain weather and tidal conditions, and theunlighted Garvan Isles which lie on the landward side of the Sound are a danger to be particularlyavoided. The powerful light and Racon on Inishtrahull are considered adequate for the guidanceof vessels transiting the Sound or taking the offshore route.

Horn Head is quite clear of off-lying dangers, and the shoals on either side of the entrance toMulroy Bay are sufficiently inshore as not to constitute a serious danger. The isolated LimeburnerRock, with only 2 metres of water over it, is adequately marked by a type 2 lighted buoy whichalso serves as a useful waypoint for offshore traffic.

Tory Sound is deep and navigable, delineated by night by the sectored local authority light onBloody Foreland, as well as the major light on Tory Island.

The principal commercial port in the area is Londonderry Port. The principal fishing harbours areGreencastle and Rathmullan. The principal leisure boat harbours are Rathlin Harbour,Ballycastle, Coleraine, Portrush, Portstewart, Foyle Marina, Lough Swilly and Mulroy Bay.

TSS: In the east of this region, the Rathlin Traffic Separation System and Tanker exclusion zonesrequire particular attention.

The Tory Island to Loop Head region is one ofthe most exposed areas in Northwest Europe,as it takes the full brunt of the prevailingwinds and North Atlantic storms. There islimited all weather shelter for any largevessel seeking refuge.

The geographical features of this coastlinevary considerably along its whole length fromfractured coastlines in Donegal and Mayo tohigh sheer cliffs in Clare.

The coast from Tory island to Donegal Bay,within which is the fishing port of Killybegs, ischaracterised by the highest sea cliffs in thecountry. The physical nature of the coastlinechanges dramatically between Eagle Islandand the Aran Islands. The shoaled and rockstrewn coasts of Mayo and Galway protrudeout into the North Atlantic and present aformidable number of hazards for the inshoremariner. Blacksod Bay, Clew Bay and KillaryHarbour have limited protection as places ofrefuge.

Galway Bay is, in general, well served by thenatural protection it receives from thestrategic location of the Aran Islands. The Bayhas adequate provision of Aids to Navigationbut offers limited shelter.
