NAVIGATION

Sea buoys, fairways and channels: Tanker channel: A charted access channel, where

navigation is controlled, extends approx 4.05nm WNW from the entrance to Boulogne

Harbour to the W boundary of the French Inshore Traffic Zone.

N limit, is the extended line joining Boulogne light buoy and Digue Nord light tower.

S limit, is the line joining "ZC1" lightbuoy and Digue Sud (Carnot) light tower.

Ferry channel: By agreement, between the ferry operators and local fishermen, ferries

normally use a channel 1.5nm wide between Cap Griz Nez and Boulogne for both entering

and leaving the harbour. The channel is bounded by the following positions:

Latitude Longitude

On the E side 5044.90'N 00134.35'E

5048.60'N 00134.30'E

5054.25'N 00131.60'E

On the W side 5044.95'N 00133.35'E5048.60'N 00133.35'E

5051.20'N 00132.10'E

5052.25'N 00130.20'E

Boulogne leading lights are exhibited for the entrance to Avant-port: The front from a lantern

mounted on a mast (triangular topmark, point down) at the NW extremity of the spur at Gare

Maritime (Lat 5043.7'N, Long 00135.7'E). The rear from a grey metal framework tower,

with a red top on a building, 43m in height, standing on Quai Gambetta, on the SE side of

Port de Maree, 3 cables SE of the front light. These lights in line bear 123. Traffic signals are

exhibited from the vicinity of the front light.

Buoyage: "RC1" lightbuoy and "RC2" lightbuoy mark the approach to Darse Sarraz-Bournet.

Pilot: Pilotage is compulsory, except for vessels of less than 50m in length equipped with

VHF, bound to or from Boulogne within a distance of 2nm of the breakwaters.

In fine weather the pilot boat, which is fitted with VHF, is stationed between Boulogne

lightbuoy (Lat 5045'N, Long 00131'E) and Ophelie lightbuoy, moored 1.05nm S. If the

weather is too rough for the pilot boat to put to sea, vessels should remain in the outer

anchorage, where instructions will be passed by VHF. On no account should vessels attempt

to enter Rade Carnot without instructions, as weather or water conditions may make it

impracticable to anchor within the breakwaters. Small vessels, entering without a pilot, must

anchor in the S part of Rade Carnot. Deep sea pilots for NW Europe can also be obtained

from Boulogne.

Anchorages: Outer anchorage: There is an anchorage for large vessels midway between the

gap in Bassure de Baas and Digue Carnot, clear of the approach to Boulogne harbour. If the

outer anchorage is unsuitable due to bad weather, it is advisable to seek shelter off the English

Coast.

Inner anchorage: There is an anchorage E of Digue Carnot in depths from 2m to 6m, the

holding ground, of mud, is very good. The S limit of the anchorage is indicated by the

alignment of the fixed green light of Jetee Sud-Ouest with the fixed red light of Jetee Nord-

Est. The NE Limit is the line joining Digue Sud (Carnot) light and the NW entrance to Darse

Sarraz-Bournet. The W limit of the anchorage is also indicated by Digue Carnot Nord-Ouest

General notices & regulations: Regulations concerning entry: An approach channel, extends

5nm W from the entrance to Calais Harbour, then WNW to the SW boundary of the Dover

Strait TSS. The N limit of the channel is a line joining the head of Jetee Est, CA10, CA8, CA6

and CA4 lightbuoys. The S limit is a line joining the head of Jetee Ouest and the positions Lat5057.6'N, Long 00144.2'E and Lat 5059.2'N, Long 00138.8'E.


8/27

All tankers must use this channel. Tankers within the channel are regarded as vessels

restricted in their ability to manoeuvre and show the appropriate shapes and lights.

All vessels are prohibited from anchoring or stopping in the approach channel and in the area

N of the Hoverport.

NAVIGATION

Sea buoys, fairways and channels: The approach to Calais is from the W along an approach

channel running 4nm E, virtually parallel to the coast, to an entry channel, which lies between

breakwaters.The most favourable time to enter harbour is at slack water. When entering the channel

between the jetties allowance should be made for the cross tidal stream, so that when the bows

are in the shelter of the jetties the influence of the tidal stream on the stern of the vessels will

align the vessel with the axis of the channel.

Caution: Hovercraft follow the direct track between the hoverport and "CA2" lightbuoy (N

cardinal) (Lat 5100.9'N, Long 00148.9'E), 3.5nm NW of the hoverport.

In strong winds from the S to W this track may be altered to run between the hoverport and

"CA4" lightbuoy (W cardinal) (Lat 5058.9'N, Long 00145.2'E), but remaining N of the

buoyed approach channel.

Calais Approach Channel: From a position NW of Sangatte (Lat 5057'N, Long 00145'E) theroute leads 5nm E through the Calais Approach Channel to a position close W of the harbour

entrance, passing (with positions from Sangatte light (white pylon black top, 8.0m in height)

(Lat 5057.2'N, Long 00146.5'E)): N of Le Rouge Riden (3nm W), which lies in the green

sector (065-089) of Sangatte light, then:

N of Sangatte (1.25nm WSW) then:

Between "CA6" lightbuoy (port hand) and "CA5" lightbuoy (starboard hand) (7 cables NNW)

at the W end of the entrance channel. "CA6" lightbuoy is moored close W of the W extremity

of Ridens de la Rade, as defined by the 10m depth contour. The bank of sand and shells

almost dries to the NE of the harbour entrance and lies along the N side of the approach

channel, which is marked by "CA8" and "CA10" lightbuoys (both port hand). The sea breaks

heavily on the bank in strong winds from the N and E and the bank is liable to change in bad

weather. It is an extension WSW from the coastal bank on the E side of Calais Harbour. Then:

To a position close NW of the harbour entrance (2.75nm ENE).

Calais Harbour entrance: From a position close NW of the harbour entrance (Lat 5058.4'N,

Long 00150.5'E) the route leads SE through the harbour entrance, lying between the heads of

Jetee Est and Jetee Ouest, converging jetties 230m apart at the entrance. The protected

channel between the jetties, which forms Avant-port, extends 4 cables NW from the coast.

Lights stand at the heads of both jetties (Jetee Est and Jetee Ouest (white tower, green top,

12m in height). Auxiliary lights are mounted on the light towers and, if requested, these maybe switched on in conditions of poor visibility.

From Avant-port there is direct access to Bassin des Guerlettes to the E, the ferry berths

grouped around the Quai de la Maritime to the S and to Arriere-port. The line of bearing 142

of Calais Main light, and seen between the light towers at the heads of the jetties, leads

through the entrance to Arriere-port, which is dredged to 7.2m.

Pilot: Compulsory over 50m length. Calais pilot cutter meets at Buoy "CA4".

Tankers or vessels carrying dangerous substances are prohibited from proceeding beyond

"CA4" lightbuoy without a pilot on board.

In extreme weather the Pilot Office will instruct vessels on the optimum time and position forboarding.

Anchorages: Vessels waiting for entrance to Calais may anchor in the S part of the waiting

area, which is 4nm NW of Calais and shared with Dunkirk.


9/27

The recommended anchorage is located between the meridians of Long 00147'E and Long

00148'E and between the Ridens de Calais and Ridens de la Rade. The holding ground, sand

and shells, is good.

Anchoring is not recommended in the vicinity of "CA4" lightbuoy (W cardinal) (Lat 5059'N,

Long 00145'E), in particular to the NE of the buoy where there are numerous wrecks.

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.Tidal range and flow: Range 7.3m.

Dock density: 1025.

Weather: Prevailing winds: W/SW'ly.

Principal navigation aids: Major lights: Calais Main light (white 8-sided tower, black top,

of its length and is maintained at a depth of 7.8m at LAT. The river is quayed for a distance of

5.4km.

Pilot: Dublin Port is the Pilotage Authority for the Dublin Pilotage District. The limits of the

compulsory pilotage district are the waters of the River Liffey below Butt Bridge and so much

of the sea westward of the sixth meridian W longitude as lies between the parallels of latitude

passing through the Baily lighthouse on the N and through Sorrento Point on the S, including

all bays, creeks and harbours and all tidal and enclosed docks within such area.

The pilotage service is based on a pilot shore station situated on the Eastern breakwater and is

operated by direct boarding fast cutters each capable of speeds up to 20kn.

The Harbour Office, Pilot Shore Station and Pilot Cutters are equipped with radio, and

monitor VHF ch 16, 12 and 6.

The pilot boat is a white superstructure with a dark blue hull and the word "Dublin" painted

on the side of the wheelhouse.Anchorages: An anchorage area in the form of a circle with 1nm diameter is centred 1nm

SSW of the Dublin Bay buoy, with depths at LW from 13-20m.

Tidal range and flow: Range 4.1m (springs), 3.4m (neaps), rate variable.

All depths are referred to the Lowest Astronomical Tide (LAT). This level is defined as "the

lowest level which can be expected to occur under average meteorological conditions and

under any combination of astronomical conditions". This datum is referred to as LAT and is

2.51m below Ordnance Datum Malin Head.

Dock density: 1018.


Principal navigation aids: Landmarks: Poolbeg light (red round tower 20m in height) standingon the S side of the entrance at the head (Lat 5320.5'N, Long 00609.9'W) of Great South

Wall. A fog signal (horn) is sounded from the light.

North Bull light (black round tower 15m in height) standing on the N side of the entrance at

the outer end of the submerged part of Bull Wall. A fog signal (bell) is sounded from the

light.

Other landmarks (positioned relative to Poolbeg light) are:

North Bank light (black square tower on concrete piles 11m in height) (9 cables WNW) which

marks the N side of the fairway. A fog signal (bell) sounds from the light.

Two chimneys close together (14 cables W), 210m in height, at the electricity generating

station on the S bank are conspicuous both by day and at night. They are marked by red aerolights at the summit and at a height of 85m, and also by fixed red lights at intermediate

heights.

Two shorter chimneys (19 cables W), 78m in height, at the power station S of South Bank

Quay are conspicuous.

Charts: BA 1447, 1415. Admiralty Pilot NP40.

Restrictions: Ringsend Toll Bridge spans River Liffey approx 2.75nm within the harbour

entrance. It is a road bridge having a central lifting span, 30m in length, with a vertical

clearance of 2.25m when closed; when open there is no vertical limit.

Tugs: Three available. Two fitted with twin Voith Schneider propellers, 35t bollard pull each.

Also one conventional tug, 16t bollard pull, fitted with "Kort" nozzles. These are equippedwith VHF ch 16, 12 and 6 and have modern fire pumps.
