Dredging work nearing completion

The Southampton Approach Channel Dredge (SACD) 2014 is nearing completion and there has been considerable improvement in the depths in the Nab Channel, Thorn Channel, Southampton Water and the port area. The depths now available are as indicated below: Nab Channel 14.4m � Chart Datum Thorn Channel 13.6m � Chart Datum (Note: This includes the Precautionary Area, as far north as the Hook Buoy) Southampton Water 13.2m � Chart Datum Docks Area 13.2m � Chart Datum (Note: As far west as a line joining SCT5/203 Berth corner and Millbrook Buoy) Some final dredging activity is still in progress but it is expected to be completed within days. Dredging plant will then be de-mobilised and will leave the port area. A number of main navigational channel buoys may be re-positioned as a result of the benefits gained from the SACD.
