Dangers to surface navigation

The attention of shipowners, operators, Master’s, agents and pilots is drawn to:

  • a container possibly adrift to the North East or approaches to the Port. The container is white in colour. Mariners are advised to keep a sharp lookout, especially at night,
  • repair work underway to the gantry between B206 and the Northern berth dolphin. Please go slowly past this area and pass no closer than 20 metres. The area is marked by a yellow special mark lit at night by Q.Y light.
  • there is some damage to the reclamation area to the South of B203. Mariners are advised to avoid the area.

Any sightings of the container should be reported to Port Kembla VTIC on VHF Channel 11 or by calling +61 2 4274-4571
