Dredging
August 2005
On or about 03 August 2005 dredging operations will commence on the Kew shoal, south of the moorings upstream of Oliver’s Ait and will last for up to seven days. They will be carried out from the pontoon ‘Arnaud Regis’.
The pontoon will be moored between up to 4 anchors on wires and will be attended by the tug ‘Richard Hart’ and up to three dump barges with the tug ‘Napia’ or ‘Muria’.
‘Arnaud Regis’ will display the lights and shapes as prescribed in Rule 27 of the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea 1972 namely:
By day, three black shapes in a vertical line the highest and lowest of which are balls and the middle one a diamond.
By night, three all round lights in a vertical line the highest and lowest of which are red and the middle one white.
‘Richard Hart’ will maintain a continuous listening watch on VHF channel 14. All craft should keep well clear when passing and be especially careful of the anchor wires. When necessary, particularly during low water times, craft should call ‘Richard Hart’ in advance and agree a passing arrangement.
Further details will be broadcast by London VTS on VHF Channel 14.
