Sovereign Harbour Entrance Channel

Removal of buoyage to facilitate dredging operations

All buoyage within the entrance and approach to Sovereign Harbour has been removed to facilitate safe access for maintenance dredging operations, other than:

Safe Water Mark FL.10s
Special Mark FL. Y

Mariners are advised to give the dredger ‘Sospan Dau’ a wide berth when passing and to contact her directly on VHF CH17 for passing instructions. Be aware of prop wash caused from the dredger. 

All fixed navigation lights remain in place and operational and should be used in darkness and periods of reduced visibility.

The Harbour Office can be contacted 24 hours VHF Ch.17, by telephone (01323 470099) or via email at eastbourne@premiermarinas.com
