TEXT

 

1. Anchorage may be obtained 2 miles S of the harbour entrance, in depths of 5 to 7 m, stiff blue clay. The anchorage is sheltered, particularly from the W and SW by The Owers (50º 40'N, 0º40' W), which acts as a natural breakwater.

2. Good anchorage may be obtained, in a depth of about 7 m in Seaford Road on the alignment 109º of the foot of Seaford Cliff with Beachy Head Old Lighthouse and Seaford Church tower bearing 055º. The anchorage is clear of the track of cross channel ferries using Newhaven and sheltered from winds from the ESE through N to WNW.

3. Anchorage may be obtained in West Road (50º 54' N, 0º 54' E) in depth of 8 m, fine sand over clay and mud, good holding ground, provides shelter between N and E. The recommended position is within Stephenson Shoal 250º 3 miles from Dungeness New Lighthouse.

4. Anchorage is available in Eastbourne Bay (50º 46' N, 0º 19' E) in depth of 9 m, sand and mud, good holding ground. The recommended position is 132º 8 cables from the pierhead. The anchorage is sheltered from the W, through N to NE.

5. Anchorage is available off Hastings, but it is open and not recommended except in fair weather. The best anchorage, in depth of about 6 m, sand and mud, is 6 cables S of Hastings Pier (50º 51' N, 0º 34' E).

6. East Road is sheltered from the SW through W to N. The recommended anchorage is N of Swallow Bank and E of Roar Bank, depths 12 to 18 m, in the red sector of Dungeness Light, bearing about 206º.

7. There is good holding ground in East Wear Bay, which lies between Abbot’s Cliff and Copt Point. The shore of the bay is flat and covered with large stones, which make landing difficult at LW. However the bay is only sheltered from the W by Copt Point and Copt Rocks, and should only be used as a temporary anchorage. The best berth is in the middle of the bay in depths of about 9 m.

8. There is an anchorage area in Outer Harbour lying parallel to and between 2 and 3½ cables NW of Southern Breakwater. Depths are generally greater than 6 m but liable to change. The holding ground is fairly good, although caution is required in strong winds. Vessels should not anchor outside the designated anchorage area.

9. Holding ground is not good in parts of The Downs in particular S of Goodwin Fork Light-buoy. Recommended anchorages are: on the W side of the charted anchorage (51º 13' N, 1º 26'E) for large vessels in depths of 12·5 m with South Foreland Lighthouse bearing 208º and Deal Castle bearing 290º. In depths of 12·5 m with Walmer Castle bearing 295º, 11 cables as indicated on the chart.

10. The coast in the vicinity of Fecamp is exposed and anchoring is not recommended. There is a waiting anchorage centered 1·2 miles W of Jetee Nord Light, in depths from 10 to 16 m, sand and shells, bad holding ground. The anchorage is exposed to winds from the SW through N to NE. The sea rises rapidly and vessels should only anchor in fine weather.

11. The anchorage for vessels waiting to enter the Dieppe is in the vicinity of D1 Light-buoy (E cardinal), bottom sand and shingle or sand and shells, good holding ground. The sea bottom within a radius of 1 mile from the buoy was systematically surveyed by sonar for any obstructions in 1981. The anchorage is exposed to winds from the W through N to NE, and in such conditions vessels may find it preferable to lie or seek shelter elsewhere.

12. Anchorage, at position indicated on the chart, may be obtained 1¼ miles NW of the harbour entrance in depth of 6 to 8 m, bottom sand and shells. The anchorage should only be used by vessels, waiting to enter the port and not tenable in strong onshore winds.

13. The recommended anchorage is located between the meridians of 1º 47' E and 1º 48 ' E and between the Ridens de Calais and Ridens de la Rade. The holding ground, sand and shells, is reported to be good. In strong N wind, vessels unable to enter Calais may seek shelter off the SE coast of England, in either The Downs or Dungeness. Prohibited anchorage areas lie to the NW of the harbour entrance, and in the cable area off Sangatte.

14. Anchorage may be obtained in Westdiep in depths from 9 to 16 m, clear of the cables shown on the chart. There is some protection from seaward provided by Banc Small and Neuwpoort Bank.

15. Grote Rede provides anchorage in depths from 8 to 10 m, sand and mud. A good berth is 313º from Oostende Cathedral twin spires distant 2¾ miles. A second anchorage, 5 cables to the SE, holding ground is indifferent, especially near the harbour entrance and it should only be used as a temporary anchorage for vessels about to enter harbour.

16. The anchorage is primarily intended for tankers and vessels carrying dangerous cargoes, who should anchor W of W 8 light-buoy, but may be used by other vessels in an emergency. The holding ground is not good and the anchorage should not be used in bad weather. The limits of the anchorage are marked by light-buoys and buoys.

17. Wielingen South anchorage is general purpose anchorage, intended mainly for vessels over 140 m in length waiting for the tide. The holding ground is not good and the anchorage should not be used in bad weather.

18. There is anchorage 2 miles ENE of the harbour entrance in depths of 8 m, clear of Wielingen and the area in which anchoring and fishing is prohibited, 2½ miles E of the harbour entrance and shown on the chart. The latter area has been used for dumping explosives.

19. There is an anchorage area 5 miles ENE of Steenbank Pilot Station, which is used by vessels waiting to enter Westerschelde. Depths in the area are greater than 20 m and the bottom is coarse sand and shells. The N corner of the area is marked by SB – W Light-buoy (W cardinal), and the S corner by SB Anchor S Light-buoy (special). Vessels intending to use this anchorage should inform Steenbank pilot vessel.

20. Everingen provides a good anchorage in its W part. Five anchor berths, A to E, are shown on the chart. The berths may be used by any vessels, but A is normally reserved for gas carries or tankers not declared gas free.

21. Put van Terneuzen provides good anchorage for vessels when W winds make anchorage in Rede van Vlissingen unsuitable. The anchorage may be used by vessels up to 290 in length. The berths are lettered A, B, and C.

22. Anchorage is not indicated on the chart and is normally used in emergency lies in the red sector of Plaat Light-beacon. Depths within the anchorage are liable to change and there are strong tides.

23. Small craft anchorage is established on the W bank of the river running 1·3 miles SE from Imalso Yacht Harbour, with Saint Anna Pier situated centrally in the area. The E limit of the anchorage is marked by buoys and light-buoys (special) and the anchorage area also in the red sector of the light on Saint Anna Pier. The area is divided into three sections, whose limits are indicated by beacons on the W bank. The centre section is reserved for Government vessels.

24. DW1 is a long term anchorage for deep draught vessels on the NW side of Noord Hinder Junction Precautionary Area. Vessels may remain at anchor in this area under the most extreme conditions. DW2 is a short term anchorage for deep draught vessels waiting for the tide or a pilot. It lies in the center of Maas and is marked by light-buoys (special) at its NE and SW corners.

25. There is well sheltered anchorage in Wallet during SE and SW gales, with the sands acting as breakwaters, leaving the sea smooth even when the banks are covered. A recommended berth is with Naze Tower bearing 354º, distant 3½miles in a depth of 9 m, bottom clay. The cable should be given plenty of scope to prevent dragging.

26. Peterhead Bay offers an anchorage in depths up to 12·5 m. The best holding ground is under the lee of the South Breakwater consisting of the sand over blue clay or mud with occasional boulders. While at anchor vessels must maintain a good lookout and continuous VHF radio watch and have their engines ready for immediate use.

27. Good anchorage, sheltered from NE winds is obtainable, but caution is necessary, as a bank with depths of less than 5 m fronts the head of the bay and extends as much as 3 cables from the E and S shore. The NE shore is steep-to. The best berth is in depths of 34 m about 6 cables SSW of Dalyan Burnu, as shown on the chart. In this position there is slack water and good protection from the swell from Marmara Denizi.

28. The head of Erdek Limani provides capacious anchorage and is calm in all except for SW winds. The holding ground is good everywhere, especially in the greater depths of the NW part. SW gales are rare in winter, but when they occur, are heavy.

29. Anchorage, with good holding ground in depths of between 18 and 36 m, may be found anywhere inside a line joining the entrance points. The best anchorage is towards the SE corner, in depths of 26m, mud and sand, with a chapel on a spur, N of Turan, bearing about 245º.

30. Anchorage, in good holding ground, may be obtained on the muddy bank which extends for 2 miles off the mouth of Karacabey Bogazi. A convenient berth may be found in a depth of 13 m with the W entrance point bearing 234º.

31. Vessels may anchor in depths of 14 m, mud, with Adar Burnu bearing 168º, distant 3¼ cables or in depths of 11 m, with the same point bearing 127º, distant 2¾ cables. Both these berths can be uncomfortable as they are exposed to the prevailing NE wind, which often blows with considerable force. Shelter for small craft can be found in the N part of the harbour in depths of 5 m.

32. Tendrovskiy Zaliv provides good anchorage with shelter from all but NW winds, which send in a considerable sea. The best berth is in depths of between 13 and 14 m, 1½ miles E of Tendrovskiy Light; stiff mud and large shells. Vessels can anchor close inshore, but should approach with caution as the shore is steep-to within 10 m.

TEXT

1. From a position off the rocky peninsula of Buchan Ness the coastal passage leads 22 miles SSW running parallel to the coast, to the Fairway Light-buoy off the entrance to Aberdeen Harbour, passing ESE of Ward Point (4 miles SSW) , the N entrance point of Bay of Cruden. Castle ruins lie close N from Slains Lodge, a large rectangular building stands 7½ cables N of the point.

2. There is usually 3·4 m over Newburgh Bar but the channel is constantly changing and should not be attempted without local knowledge. From a position about 1 mile ENE of Downie Point the route leads WSW within the white sector of the Outer Breakwater Light (post, 2 m in height), passing SSE of a 4 m shoal (3 cables ENE); thence: about 1 cable NNW of Downie Point rocky ledges run WSW of the point.

3. The entrance channel is marked by beacons. The alignment (358º) of the leading lights leads through the harbour entrance, which lies between the W pier and the E breakwater.

 

4. The alignment (271 ½º) of the leading lights leads to the harbour entrance and through the outer part of the narrow channel, passing N of Scurdie Ness Lighthouse (6·5 cables ESE) and the front beacon (5 cables ESE) marking the clearing bearing for Scurdie Rocks. The coast to the W of Scurdie Ness is fringed by shingle and rocky ledges,up to a cable offshore.

5. From the vicinity of fairway Light-buoy (safe water) the route leads SW thence W to a position in the channel S of Buddon Ness, passing over The Bar (3 miles ENE), passing between Middle Light-buoys (port hand and starboard hand), which are 2½ cables apart, thence NW of Elbow (92 miles SE), spit extending 3 miles ENE from Abertay Sands, with depths of less than 5 m.

6. From a position NNE of Long Pier the approach lies close to the SE of the pierhead, about 16 m off, thence close S of Long Pier and parallel to it and to the N of the ledges on the S side of the channel.

7. The harbour entrance, 24 m wide, faces N and has depths of 5 m at HW springs. The approach to the entrance is on a track of 160º passing close W of Corsik Rock which lies 2 cables NNE of E pierhead.

8. The entrance, between two curved piers, is 19 m wide facing NW and has depths of 4 m at HW springs. There is unmarked approach channel with depths of 3 m and a light tower on the E pierhead.

9. Channel for vessels of less than 10 m draught commences close S of Fairway Light-buoy and runs 4½ miles SW through South Channel and Narrow Deep to a position SE of Inchkeith Lighthouse, passing NW of the South Channel Approach Light-buoy (safe water).

10. Vessels bound for Granton should approach through South Channel and Narrow Deep, as for Leith, passing to the N of Leith Approach Light-buoy (port hand) and thence S of the small vessel anchorage to a position N of the harbour entrance. Thence the route is S, passing E of the long sea outfall marked at its seaward end by a buoy (white can, X topmark), to the harbour entrance.

11. From the deep draught channel immediately S of Burntisland, the route leads N for 1·1 miles to the harbour entrance, passing through the anchorage at reduced speed, thence E of the degaussing ranges. Vessels bound for West Dock should be under way before half-flood, and be ready to enter as soon as required, otherwise the Harbour Master must be informed.

12. From a position at the W end of the approach channel the track leads 3 cables SW between the protecting approach jetties and thence to the lock entrance. The lock is 238m long, 31 m wide and lies on a charted axis 062º/242º.

From a position close E of Maw Carr (150 m NNW of the entrance), a reddish rock with vertical sides, the alignment of the leading lights within the harbour leads to harbour entrance.

13. When approaching from the S the line of bearing 300ºof Black Rocks Point Light, which is also the left hand limit of a green sector of the light, passes NE of Carr End and Southern Rock.

14. From a position in Alnmouth Bay to the NNE of the entrance the line of bearing 190º of the spire leads to a position ENE of the entrance, passing through the anchorage, thence: W of Pan Bush (6½ cables NNE), a rocky shoal which lies at the N end of a rocky spit.

15. The line of bearing 251º of Old North Pierhead, on which stands a light (yellow metal tower, 8 m in height), leads through the Outer Harbour entrance whence the track alters WSW for the Inner Harbour entrance, passing SSE of the wreckage (6 cables ENE), least depth 6 m.

16. There is direct access to the riverside berths from the River Humber. From the River Humber the access to Immingham Dock is through an entrance lock, which is approached between Eastern and Western Jetties. The entrance lock has a length of 256 m, width 27·4 m and there is a depth over the inner sill of 11·3 m at MHWS and 9·9 m at MHWN. Depths in the entrance to Immingham Dock vary. The Dock Master should be consulted for the latest information.

 

17.Goole Docks are entered from the River Ouse via three locks of the following dimensions: Ocean Lock: length 104 m, width 24·4 m, depth over sill at

MHWN 6 m. Ouse Lock : length 73 m, width 17·7 m, depth over sill at MHWN 4·9 m. The locks are operated from approximately 2½ hours before HW to 1½ hours after HW at Goole.
