One ‘new’ drying height close to the Mid Knoll starboard hand buoy at the Deben Haven and a ‘new’ drying height between the Oxley and Weir buoys at the entrance of the Ore.  The notice also includes a new block for the Deben Haven.  NOTE that no 2020 survey has yet been taken this year to the best of my knowledge.  East Coast Pilot will update information for 2020 as soon as it becomes available.
