2. Emendation of the light characteristics of the Harbour Entrance light on the east side of the Dunkerque east entrance.  The change is to add ‘12m’.

3. Adding a Obstn of 7m in the Riden de la Rade east of the Calais entrance.  Some charts already show it.

4. A reduction of depth to 8m from 11.5m east of Calais and a ‘Less water reported 2021) solely for UNHO SNC 1892.  All other charts already have those corrections.

This preliminary notice repeats Notice 4802(P) of 2024 which announces the new buoyage marking out the construction area for the East Anglia Three Offshore Wind Farm which will commence later this year.  The area is outside of the area which I monitor but I have provided images showing ‘context’ and the buoy ‘map’.  While under construction 500m safety zones (aka exclusion zones) will be placed around turbines sites.

The power lines are intended to come ashore about 1.4nm north of the Deben at Bawdsey.

Announcing several new charts from Belgium is because the UKHO versions will cease on 6th March.  Previously Belgium issued chart new editions and the UKHO would then adopt them as ADMIRALTY charts a few months later. Now the UKHO will publish the Belgian Charts in their own series as BE charts, but both the UKHO version and Belgium’s will be the same and updated at the same time.  NMs for the four new BE Charts (BE 11, BE101, BE102 and BE 106) will be issued through UKHO NM bulletin as normal and available from the website.

This is a Preliminary Notice which is part of a series of seven other Preliminary Notices published in the second part of 2024 and one earlier this year.  The series has published 36 reductions of depths from Winterton Ness and Kessingland.  This Notice is adding four reductions of depth from Hemsby Hole to just north of Great Yarmouth.  As such the new reductions should not hinder leisure craft.  The notices in in 2025 is 448(P) and 2024 are:


4389(P), 4628(P), 4900(P), 5001(P), 5018(P), 5069(P) and 5165(P).  You can access the images for those in the 2024 list.


This notice has one reduction of depth right in the middle between the Newcome Sand PHB and the S. Holm SCB (i.e. the Stanford Channel south entrance).  At 3.6m there is significant water for leisure craft but the entrance continues to reduce!
