AIDS TO NAVIGATION REVIEW 2005

Part 1 Executive Summary

A joint review of Aids to Navigation (AtoN) of the coasts of the UnitedKingdom (UK) and Ireland has been conducted in accordance with theguide-lines set out in Chapter 7.3 of the three GLAs' Joint NavigationRequirements Policy document. Each GLA has reviewed the AtoN in itsown area of responsibility and joint consultations have been conductedover areas of common or overlapping interest, such as the North Channel.Users are consulted wherever and whenever appropriate. Several of theproposed changes contained in the Review have been incorporated as adirect result of user response already obtained to date on specific areas ofinterest. Some of the user response already obtained has resulted in theimplementation of certain changes. This Review addresses the current andfuture requirements of national and international shipping and those ofMariners in general for consultation purposes.

1.2 The study has been carried out based solely on the minimum navigationalrequirements and does not at this stage take into account any otherconsiderations. It is important to appreciate that the measures contained inthis Review will not necessarily take place within the next 5 years,however they will shape the GLAs' Capital Works and Buoyageprogramme contained within individual Corporate Plans.

1.3 The bridges of most modern commercial ships are fitted with a number ofkey navigational aids, which rely on inputs from GPS for position and

1.4 GPS has brought readily available and accurate position fixing to millionsand has changed the manner in which the mariner conducts a voyage.However, there is concern in the maritime sector over such high relianceon GPS for positioning fixing and timing due to the known vulnerabilityof the system to accidental or malicious interference.

1.5 The advent of Galileo will only ameliorate this concern to a limiteddegree. The similarities of GPS and Galileo mean that they suffer fromthe same weaknesses. It is essential to retain a mix of complementarysystems, as the fundamental principle of marine navigation is never to relyon a single source of navigation information when alternative sources areavailable.

1.6 Given that 95% of UK trade, and 98% of Irish trade, is carried by sea andour waters are some of the busiest in the world, the potential for

GLAs' AtoN Review 2005 Page 2 of 54



disruption, environmental damage and even loss of life resulting frominterruption to the GNSS signals is of great concern.

1.7 Radar and visual aids are seen as a terrestrial backup to satellite systems aswell as providing clear physical marking of wrecks, shoals and otherhazards.

1.8 On 6th October 2004 the General Lighthouse Authorities published theMarine Aids to Navigation Strategy to 2020, known as '2020 The Vision'.This strategy document looks carefully at trends in navigational practicesand determines a future strategy for the provision of both visual andelectronic Aids to Navigation and forms the foundation of this review.

1.9 This is the second time that the three GLAs have conducted a total,simultaneous review of all their AtoN. In accordance with their JointNavigation Requirements Policy document, it is the intention to conductsuch a review every five years, in order to ensure:

'That the aids to navigation provided by the GLAs in the interestof general navigation are cost-effective and continue to meet thepresent changing need of all mariners and comply whereverpossible with internationally-accepted criteria and

That timely reviews of the GLAs' aids to navigation are carriedout to facilitate financial, operational and engineering planning."

1.10 Whilst each GLA has carried out its own review of its own AtoN, thereare areas where the boundaries of two, or even all three, GLAs meet andwhere a concerted view has been necessary.

1.1 1 In producing the recommendations contained in the Review, therefore, theGLAs have:

Carried out their own internal study of the AtoN in their area ofresponsibility;Selectively involved the users in initial discussions;Carried out cross-border discussions with other GLAs;Briefed individual GLA User Consultative Groups on the mainrecommendations arising out of the Review.

1.12 Each AtoN has been studied in isolation, as well as in relation to the otherAtoN in its vicinity, which we refer to as the "mix" of AtoN.

1.13 An overall summary of the changes is contained in table 1 below.

Part 2 Introduction

2.1 The Review

2.1.1 This is the second time that the three GLAs have conducted a total,simultaneous review of all their AtoN. In accordance with their JointNavigation Requirements Policy document, it is the intention to continuesuch reviews every five years, in order to ensure:

that the aids to navigation provided by the GLAs in the interest ofgeneral navigation are cost-effective and continue to meet thepresent changing need of all mariners and comply wherever possiblewith internationally-accepted criteria and

that timely reviews of the GLAs' aids to navigation are carried out tofacilitate financial, operational and engineering planning."

2.1.2 The GLA Marine Aids to Navigation Strategy to 2020 (2020 The Vision)forms the strategic foundation of this review.

2.1.3 This joint review of Aids to Navigation (AtoN) of the United Kingdom(UK) and Ireland coasts has been conducted in accordance with theguide-lines set out in Chapter 7.3 of the three GLAs' Joint NavigationRequirements Policy document. Each GLA has reviewed the AtoN in itsown area of responsibility and joint consultations have been conducted overareas of common or overlapping interest, such as the North Channel. Usersare consulted wherever and whenever appropriate. Several of the proposedchanges contained in the Review have been incorporated as a direct result ofuser response obtained to date on specific areas of interest. Some of the userresponse already obtained has resulted in the implementation of certainchanges. This Review addresses the current and future requirements ofnational and international shipping and those of Mariners in general forconsultation purposes. The review covers the period 2005 to 2010.

2.1.4 The study has been carried out based solely on the minimum navigationalrequirements and does not at this stage take into account any otherconsiderations. It is important to appreciate that the measures contained inthis Review will not necessarily take place within the next 5 years, howeverthey will shape the GLAs' Capital Works and Buoyage programmecontained within individual Corporate Plans

2.2 Transport By Sea

2.2.1 Since the completion of the 1998 AtoN Review of GLA-provided AtoN,the volume, character and pattern of seaborne traffic around the coasts ofthe UK and Ireland has been subject to continuous change. Closerintegration of the European Trading Bloc has brought a renewedawareness to the importance of our sea trades.

2.2.2 The European Union (EU) dependency on waterborne transport to carry90% of its external trade closely resembles that of island economies such



as our own. This fact, combined with the realization in Brussels of thecost-effectiveness of short sea shipping, the part it has to play in easingland transport problems and its comparative environmental-friendliness,has contributed to a greater awareness within the EU of not onlymember countries' dependence on sea transport but also the need to bothregulate and nurture its continued growth.

2.2.3 The predicted sustained growth within the combined economies of ourislands, coupled with the expected expansion of the EU to include othercountries which rely heavily upon marine transport, can be expected tofurther encourage the adoption of policies which will enhance thedevelopment of such short sea trade.

2.3 Shipping Trends

2.3.1 In terms of ship management, trends towards greater sophistication ofon-board equipment, reduced manning levels, mixing of crewnationalities, the growth in the economic vessel size, changes in tradingpatterns and the growth of transshipment to/from hub-ports have allcontributed in the intervening period to a change of emphasis andreliance upon the AtoN provided by the GLAs

2.3.2 High-speed craft, most especially in the area of ferries, have proliferatedin recent years, with services now running between Holyhead andDublin/Dun Laoghaire, Rosslare to Fishguard, Loch Ryan andBelfast/Larne, to and from the Isle of Man and from Harwich and theChannel ports to continental Europe. The speeds at which these vesselsoperate (up to 50 knots) means that special attention has had to be paidto AtoN used by them for navigation and orientation.

2.4 Fishing

2.4.1 The fishing industry has been undergoing a programme ofrationalisation, where the number of vessels has declined in the movetowards larger vessels capable of going further afield in pursuit of non-quota fish stocks.

2.4.2 The speed at which both these larger vessels and the smaller inshorevessels now operate has also changed dramatically in recent years.Speeds of up to 30 knots are not uncommon with inshore crabbers. Thetraditional in-shore boat still remains however, with professionalmarketing increasing the size and value of in-shore catches and theconsequent retention of the fleet.

2.5 Aquaculture

2.5.1 Frequent applications for aquaculture licenses are made to the variousGovernment Departments responsible for such activities for almostevery coastal region. Long-established salmon farming has beenaugmented by the cultivation of other fin-fish and many varieties ofshellfish. The GLAs are consulted on a regular basis by the GovernmentDepartments responsible for aquaculture, regarding the impact of


The General Lity.hthouse Authorities of the United Kingdom and Ireland

aquaculture on the safety of navigation in specific coastal areas. Thisincludes the marking and lighting of fish farms, floating structures andcages.

2.6 Marine Leisure

2.6.1 The marine leisure industry has also undergone considerable change,though quite how much is difficult to quantify. The number of yachtmarinas already built, or in the planning stage best illustrates the growth,which this marine sector has achieved and expects to achieve. Thedemand for these facilities is created by the overcrowded conditions ofestablished moorings and the overflow resulting from the increasednumber of craft. A remarkable feature of this sector is the speed withwhich new technology, in the form of satellite navigation systems,electronic chart systems and even integrated navigation systems, hasbeen embraced.

2.6.2 Leisure passenger cruising is also increasing quickly. Ports are activelyencouraging calls by Cruise liners, resulting in very significant growth inport tonnage in some areas.

2.6.3 Smaller 100/200 passenger, 100metre length, specialist cruise ships arealready appearing in our waters. The attraction for this type of trade isspecial-interest tours, calls at smaller ports and cruising the unspoiltcoastlines.

2.6.4 Offshore islands are now attracting large numbers of tourists from themainland harbours, carried in small ferries. Islands on our coasts areexperiencing increasing traffic movements and very substantialpassenger volumes.

2.7 Offshore Renewable Energy Sites

2.7.1.1 Since the last review there has been a proliferation of offshore windfarmsite proposals around our coasts and this trend is set to continue. Thereare, so far, five sites around the coast with another 29 in the planningstage. These sites present a particular challenge to the GeneralLighthouse Authorities to ensure they are marked correctly and do notimpede safe navigation of vessels.

2.7.1.2 Off the Orkney Islands trials are currently underway to harness wavepower and a single tidal power generator has been in operation off theNorth Devon coast for a number of years. It is likely that, over the nextfive years, commercial production of wave and tidal energy power willcommence. These sites are also challenging to mark, particularly wavegenerators that are often difficult to see, have a low freeboard and couldpotentially break free of their moorings.

2.8 New Technology



2.8.1 The fundamental nature of marine navigation has altered over the lastdecade as a result of the proliferation of good, reliable, mass-marketGPS receivers with a nominal accuracy of 13 metres or better (since theremoval of Selective Availability in 2000), and immune to the causes ofimperfection associated with previous generations of electronicpositioning systems. The GLAs have operated a public serviceDifferential GPS system since 1998, which offers an enhanced level ofaccuracy (5 metres or better) and an integrity warning of GPS serviceinterruption or degradation. (D)GPS is widely used as the primarynavigation system on almost all classes of vessels.

2.8.2 The widespread availability of GPS and DGPS receivers, at low cost, isincreasingly encouraging mariners of all classes to navigate either closerinshore or closer to dangers, doing so in conditions of darkness andreduced visibility where they would not have previously ventured.

2.8.3 GPS will be joined during the next 5 years by additional Global SatelliteNavigation Systems (GNSS), including a resurgent GLONASS serviceand a European Civil operated GALILEO service, which isoptimistically due to commence operation in 2008. From an operationalperspective, GALILEO brings greatly improved performance in terms ofaccuracy and availability as a position fixing system, when compared tothe current GPS alone. Galileo itself is inherently superior to currentGPS due to improved technology and contributes significantly to a morerobust GNSS by more than doubling the number of satellites deployed,using signals broadcast on several frequencies and providingindependent control. Galileo will, therefore, reduce the well-knownvulnerability of GNSS to interference and jamming, although it cannoteliminate this problem. Availability of an enhanced GNSS Service, hasthe potential, in time, to lead to reductions in other forms of aids tonavigation.

2.8.4 UPS has brought readily available and accurate position fixing tomillions and has changed the manner in which the mariner conducts avoyage. However, there is concern in the maritime sector over such highreliance on GPS for positioning fixing and timing due to the knownvulnerability of the system to accidental or malicious interference.

2.8.5 The bridges of most modern commercial ships are fitted with a numberof key navigational aids, which rely on inputs from GPS for position andtiming. For example, an integrated bridge has GPS inputs to radar,electronic chart, autopilot, Automatic Identification System (AIS),Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) Voyage DataRecorders, Emergency Position Indicating Rescue Beacon (EPIRB) andmore.

2.8.6 Given that 95% of UK trade, and 98% of Irish trade, is carried by seaand our waters are some of the busiest in the world, the potential fordisruption, environmental damage and even loss of life resulting frominterruption to the GNSS signals is of great concern.

2.8.7 The advent of Galileo will only ameliorate this concern to a limiteddegree. The similarities of GPS and Galileo mean that they suffer from



the same weaknesses. It is essential to retain a mix of complementarysystems, as the fundamental principle of marine navigation is never torely on a single source of navigation information when alternativesources are available.

2.8.8 It is these increasingly recognized concerns that have led to GLAparticipation in a pan-European Terrestrial Navigation LORAN-CSystem on a trial basis. LORAN is significantly less vulnerable tointerference than GNSS and, in the context of an integratedLORAN/GNSS receiver, offers greater security to the user. Potentialdevelopments in LORAN technology offer accuracy levels of up to 20metres.

2.8.9 A future growth area in the provision of aids to navigation will be theintroduction of Automatic Identification Systems (AIS). This systemwill be a compulsory requirement on all SOLAS vessels greater than300gt with effect from the end of 2004. It is considered that navigationalsafety can be improved by the fitting of compatible equipment on someAtoN. In the short term, advantage can be gained by using AIS as ameans by which the GLAs can monitor the status of the AtoN includingreal-time information on the AtoN position and complement the existingservice provided to the mariner by facilitating identification of the AtoN.In the longer term it may be possible to use both shore based andfloating aids to provide meteorological and hydrological information, aswell utilising the AtoN status information as a feed into the World WideNavigation Warning System, resulting in improvements to the way inwhich data is currently made available/presented to the mariner on thebridge.

AIS technology can also be used in the following manner:

As synthetic AIS on an aid to navigation

As virtual AtoN, for example for use in wreck marking prior todeploying buoys, mitigating further the risk to mariners

To facilitate traffic analysis by AtoN providers to assist in theprovision of the appropriate level of service and mix of AtoN

2.8.10 Following sea trials THLS has decided to embark on a programme ofreplacement of the current THLS Class 3, 4 and 5 buoys and other non-standard buoys by a Class 3 buoy using modern material options, such asplastics. Two sizes of Class 3 buoy have been identified. These aredesignated in the Area Schedules, contained in Section 4 of this Review,as large or small. In each case, the dayrnark and radar conspicuity of thestations concerned will be improved as radar reflectors and topmarkswill come as a standard fit to new buoys. In the case of the smallerversion, the radar reflector is built into the buoy body, whilst for thelarger version this will be integrated into the Topmark.

2.8.11 In addition, selected THLS Class II buoy stations, that may beacceptable to the user for replacement by this new design Class 3 buoy,have also been identified within the relevant Area Schedules.



2.8.12 Advances in LED technology now enable the GLAs to improve andthereby standardize on the light ranges of their buoys. This improvementwill be particularly welcomed by those users who have previouslyexpressed concerns over the lack of visibility of some lights, particularlyin areas suffering from high levels of background lighting. In addition,the use of LED technology is currently being extended to beacons and tosome lighthouses.

2.9 2020 The Vision

2.9.1 On 61h 2004 the General Lighthouse Authorities published theMarine Aids to Navigation Strategy to 2020, known as '2020 TheVision'. This strategy document looks carefully at trends in navigationalpractices and determines a future strategy for the provision of bothvisual and electronic Aids to Navigation.

2.9.2 The strategy takes into account the evolving shipboard practices andtraining requirements of seafarers. Traditional navigational skillssometimes appear to be superseded by over reliance on newtechnological advances however it is clear from in depth consultationwith users that lighthouses, buoys and beacons will continue to play avital role in a balanced AtoN system.

2.9.3 As already mentioned above, position fixing using GNSS is prevalentamongst both commercial and leisure users. Radar and visual aids areseen as a terrestrial backup to satellite systems as well as providing clearphysical marking of wrecks, shoals and other hazards. This back up rolehas been further emphasised by the known vulnerability of GNSS andthe ease with which signals can be subject to interference from jamming,spoofing or natural influences, as discussed above.

2.9.4 The key conclusions of 2020 The Vision are:

Lighthouses will have decreasing significance over time andsome may be discontinued. Those that remain will provideplatforms for additional services.

Unlit beacons will normally be discontinued or lighted.

MFAs will be replaced once the operational performance ofbuoys meets navigational requirements.

The will be no significant changes with regards the provision ofbuoys although they may be used as platforms for additionalservices.

Fog signals have a limited application in hazard warning.

RACONS are an integral part of an AtoN system and willcontinue to be provided.


The General Lichthouse Authorities of the United Kinuslom and Ireland

LORAN C. as a terrestrial system, should be adopted as themaritime radionavigation backup to GNSS.

A1S Technology will significantly enhance and complementexisting AtoN.

Differential GNSS services will continue to be provided.

2.10 Traffic Separation Schemes (TSS)

2.10.1 The practice of following predetermined routes has been operational fornearly 100 years. The application of the idea to the Dover Straits in the1960s has led to the modern TSS where opposing traffic is separatedinto "lanes".

2.10.2 The International Maritime Organization is the specialist agency of theUnited Nations responsible for maritime safety. It is the onlyinternational body for establishing and adopting measures on aninternational level concerning ship routeing and areas to be avoided byships or certain classes of ships.

2.10.3 Submissions regarding route proposals or areas to be avoided are theresponsibility of Government, i.e. The Department of Communications,Marine and Natural Resources in Ireland and the Department forTransport (DIY) in the UK. In the UK this role has been delegated to theMaritime and Coastguard Agency, which is an Executive Agency of theDfT.

2.10.4 There are 10 TSSs adopted in the UK and Ireland. These are situated inthe Approaches to The Humber, Dover Straits, the English Channel,Scilly Isles, Smalls, Anglesey, North Channel (Rathlin Is.), Fastnet andTuskar.

2.10.5 A Deep Water Route for tankers exists West of the Outer Hebrides.

2.10.6 In particular, the use of A1S to monitor vessel movements from shorestations is being developed. The sensitivity of our coasts, both from anenvironmental/tourism viewpoint, and from that of the aquaculturelobby, may lead to Governments decreeing that certain classes of vessels(or all vessels) keep a certain distance off our coasts, or follow particularroutes.

2.11 Form of the Review

2.11.1 Whilst each GLA has carried out a review of its own AtoN, there areareas where the boundaries of two, or even all three, GLAs meet andwhere a concerted view has been necessary. Thus, for example, in theNorth Channel/Isle of Man area, all three authorities have combined toproduce the reports covering this area.

2.11.2 In producing the recommendations herein, therefore, the GLAs have:



carried out their own internal study of the AtoN in their area ofresponsibility;

selectively involved the users in initial discussions;carried out cross-border discussions with other GLAs;

briefed Individual GLA User Consultative Groups

2.11.3 Each AtoN has been studied in isolation, as well as in relation to theother AtoN in its vicinity which we refer to as the "mix" of AtoN. Thestudy has been carried out based solely on the minimum navigationalrequirements and does not at this stage take into account any otherconsiderations. It is important to appreciate that the measures containedin this Review will not necessarily take place within the next 5 years,however they will shape the GLAs' Capital Works and Buoyageprogramme contained within individual Corporate Hans.

2.11.4 Comments from users on the proposals contained in Parts 3 and 4 of theReview document would be welcomed by 31 March 2005.

3.2 The GLAs have agreed areas of contiguous coastline where they willconsult mutually, regarding AtoN provision. These contiguous areaswere first agreed in 1980. The chartlet depicting these areas, which iscontained in Annex 10.1 of the GLAs' Joint Navigational RequirementsPolicy document, is reproduced at figure 3 below, for information.

3.3 The GLAs have had the benefit of access to a computer database ontraffic movement to assist in the evaluation of the volume of traffic. Thedatabase currently used contains details of over 3,500 routes, includingports of departure and destination, together with the number, type, sizeof vessels using each route annually. Although the database currently inuse by the GLAs is more comprehensive than that used for the 1997-98Review, there are some types of vessel that have not yet been includedin the database, such as fishing vessels and pleasure craft, as well asspecialist vessels. A plot can be created to overlay onto an AdmiraltyRaster Scan Chart showing routes within a given radius of a location.

3.7 Area Overviews

3.7.1 AREA 1- ISLE OF MAN, NORTH CHANNEL, CLYDE

3.7.1.1 This region is one in which all three General Lighthouse Authorities'(GLAs') areas meet. This part of the report is, therefore, a joint one, withinput from all three.

3.7.1.2 This is a busy region and one in which strong tidal streams (up to 6knots) and poor weather conditions are prevalent. As well as coastalmerchant traffic, the Royal Navy operates a major base for submarinesand surface vessels in the Upper Clyde and ferry services, many of themhigh-speed vessels (over 35 knots), serve the Isle of Man and run acrossthe North Channel and the Clyde. The region is well served with AtoN,both fixed and floating.

3.7.1.3 The area has been divided into four sub-areas, together with details ofthe major proposed changes, these are as follows:

3.7.15.2 It also contains two of the most important commercial ports in Ireland,Belfast and Lame, as well as a number of very viable fishing ports andleisure centres, such as Bangor, Portavogie, Ballywalter, Portafen-y,Strangford and Ardglass.

3.7.15.3 This coastal area can be divided roughly in two for the purpose ofdescribing the natural features of its terrain. With the exceptions of theMaidens Rocks and Hunter Rock, both of which are very well lighted,the coast from Fair Head to Black Head, at the Northeastern entrance toBelfast Lough, is quite steep-to, with deep water off, and no navigationalhazards to speak of. However, on passing South of Belfast Lough, thecoast from Mew Island to the entrance to Strangford Lough is low-lying,rock strewn and decidedly inhospitable, apart from Donaghadee Sound,from the Mariner's viewpoint.

Inshore channels are virtually non existent along this stretch of coast, asall but the smallest of craft keeps well East of the two major floatingaids, South Rock Light Float and the Skulmartin Buoy. In the case ofDonaghadee Sound, this passage has in it a number of shoal patcheswhich are adequately buoyed and lighted for safe navigation. It is notsuitable for large vessels but does attract a considerable amount ofBelfast traffic, which would otherwise be obliged to pass East of MewIsland.

3.7.15.5 Belfast and Strangford Loughs are the only two inlets, which offershelter to vessels seeking refuge from adverse weather. Belfast Loughbeing open to the East is of limited use in this respect. However, AudleyRoads, in Strangford Lough, provides an all-weather anchorage forsmaller commercial vessels, fishing boats and leisure craft.

3.7.15.6 Within a radius of 20nm of Belfast there are some 24,578 vesselmovements per annum using 241 routes- See figure 14 above.

3.7.15.7 The large volume of through traffic has been sustained by containertraffic into Liverpool. There has also been a considerable increase insailing and leisure traffic through this area.

3.7.15.8 IMO TSS indicates an important routing point within area 15.

3.7.15.9 The changes proposed for this area can be summarised, as follows:

3.7.16 AREA 16- RATHLIN EAST TO TORY ISLAND

3.7.16.1 The North Irish coast between Rathlin East Lighthouse and Tory Islandis relatively clear of hazards to navigation, which have not already beenclearly marked by the relevant GLA or local authorities.

3.7.16.2 To take the region as a whole, the three principal islands which lie offthis coast, Tory, Inishtrahull and Rathlin, are each provided withsufficient aids, both visual and electronic, to guide the deeper draught,North Atlantic traffic, bound in or out of the North Channel, well Northof any inshore hazards which lie along the coast.

3.7.16.3 As far as the needs of inshore traffic is concerned, the mainland coastcan be described as a series of prominent headlands, jutting out intocomparatively deep water, with few exceptions, and a number of verydeep, navigable inlets, the principal ones being Sheep Haven, MulroyBay, Lough Swilly and Lough Foyle.

3.7.16.4 Looking at the region from West to East, Tory Sound is deep andnavigable, being delineated by night by the sectored local authority lighton Bloody Foreland, as well as the major light on Tory Island.

3.7.16.5 Horn Head, which follows, is quite clear of off-lying dangers, and theshoals on either side of the entrance to Mulroy Bay are sufficientlyinshore as not to constitute a serious danger.

3.7.16.6 The isolated Limeburner Rock, with only 2 metres of water over it, isadequately marked by a First Class lighted buoy which also serves as auseful waypoint for offshore traffic.

3.7.16.7 Fanad Head and Malin Head are also relatively free of immediatedangers. However, lnishtrahull Sound, which lies close East of MalinHead can be treacherous sea passage for smaller vessels in certainweather and tidal conditions, and the unlighted Garvan Isles which lie onthe landward side of the Sound are a danger to be particularly avoided.The powerful light and racon on Inishtrahull are considered adequate forthe guidance of vessels transiting the sound of taking the offshore route.

3.7.16.8 Inshore navigation between Inishtrahull Sound and Rathlin Island doesnot pose any particular problems. Any identifiable hazards are minor andso close to the mainland that they do not call for attention beyond thatwhich is already provided.



3.7.16.9 Finally, with regard to the Eastern section of the coast, Rathlin Sound isan important passage for shipping, which is well served by thelighthouses at Rathlin West and Rue Point. The tidal streams andoverfalls in this area can be of remarkable strength and turbulence andthese two aids, at either end of the sound, can greatly assist the safetransit of inshore traffic.

3.7.17 AREA 17- TORY ISLAND TO LOOP HEAD

3.7.17.1 The Tory Island to Loop Head region is one of the most exposed areas inNorthwest Europe, as it takes the fall brunt of the prevailing winds andNorth Atlantic storms.

3.7.17.2 The geographical features of this coastline vary considerably along itswhole length, and the number of AtoN provided from place to place tendto reflect the density of marine hazards to be found in any one locality.

3.7.17.3 For instance, the Co. Clare coast from Loophead to Galway Bay beingsteep-to with high sheer cliffs and few off-lying rocks, is one of thelongest stretches of un-lighted coastline in the country.

3.7.17.4 Galway Bay is, in general, well served by the natural protection itreceives during severe North Atlantic weather from the strategic locationof the Aran Islands. The Bay is adequately lighted, and thus ease ofaccess, but offers limited shelter for large vessels, which may bedisabled, or under stress of weather. However, the anchorage to the Eastof Blackhead Lighthouse is tenable in certain weather conditions and isfrequently used by vessels awaiting suitable conditions to enter GalwayHarbour.

3.7.17.5 The physical nature of the coastline changes dramatically betweenRossaveal and Eagle Island. The shoaled and rock strewn coasts ofCounties Galway and Mayo protrude out into the North Atlantic andpresent a formidable number of hazards for the inshore mariner. Thereis, consequently, a larger number of AtoN provided in this area, the twomajor ones being Slyne Head and Eagle Island.


The General Lighthouse Authorities of the United Kintadom and Ireland

3.7.17.6 This section of the coast is not well endowed with harbours of refuge forlarger vessels, Blacksod Bay, with Blackrock and Blacksod Lighthousesin its approaches, being the most suitable one available.

3.7.17.7 The coast from Donegal Bay to Tory island, within which the two majorfishing ports of Killybegs and Burtonport are located, is characterised bythe highest sea cliffs in the country, Slieve League, and a hazardous rockoffshore between Dawros Had and Bloody Foreland, on the West coastof Co. Donegal.

3.7.17.8 In addition to the various GLA AtoN in this region, which provide forthe needs of shipping in general, the relevant local authorities haveadequately provided for the requirements of the Ports and Harbourswithin their jurisdictions.

3.7.18 AREA 18- LOOP HEAD TO FASTNET

3.7.18.1 This zone encompasses the South West Coast from Loop Head toFastnet Rock including the Shannon Estuary.

3.7.18.2 The Coast in this area is characterised by high bold headlands and deepbays. There are a large number of offshore islands.

3.7.18.3 Approaches to ports and harbours are invariably hazardous due to therocky nature of the area.

3.7.18.4 The severe weather conditions frequently encountered in this zone canforce vessels to seek shelter in the numerous bays in the area. As thepredominant wind is Southwesterly it can be necessary to go quite deepinto bays before suitable shelter can be found. The Shannon Estuary andBantry Bay in particular are frequently used as ports of refuge.


3.7.18.6 There is a busy fishing trade in the area ranging from small inshore boatsto large offshore trawlers and deep-sea tuna boats..

3.7.19 AREA 19- FASTNET TO TUSKAR

3.7.19.1 The Fastnet to Tuskar region consists of relatively safe waters forvessels making offshore passages but dangerous inshore waters. Thecoastline, particularly in the West of the region, is high and rocky withbold cliffs and headlands.

3.7.19.2 The approaches to the ports, anchorages and bays are difficult withdangerous offshore rocks and reefs.

3.7.19.3 It has been necessary to provide a mixture of buoys, beacons andlighthouses to adequately mark the inshore dangers and support theoffshore route.

3.7.19.4 The only offshore dangers in the offshore route are the Kinsale HeadGas Field, which is subject to a 500m-exclusion zone and the FastnetRock.

3.7.19.5 Fastnet Rock is a common waypoint for transatlantic traffic.

3.7.19.6 IMO recognised Traffic Separation Schemes are in force off Fastnet andTuskar. The offshore route between these schemes covers a distance of140', taking vessels clear of all headlands and the Coningbeg Lighttloat,(6' off Old Head East bound, 1.5' off Old Head West bound).



3.7.18.5 Through traffic will normally follow the offshore route outside the majorlights. Coastal traffic and vessels bound for ports within the zonefrequently use the more restricted inshore passages, particularly duringadverse weather conditions.

3.7.20 AREA 20- TUSKAR TO BAILY

3.7.20.1 The Tuskar to Baily region is unique on the Irish Coast for itspreponderance of shallow banks and relatively low-lying coastline.

3.7.20.2 Banks extend up to nine miles off the coast with some drying at lowwater. These banks are gradually extending northwards requiringongoing reviews of buoy positions.

3.7.20.3 The coastline, with the exception of a series of prominent headlands, islow lying. This, combined with the distance offshore of the dangerousbanks, necessitates a reliance on floating aids.

3.7.20.4 There are four principal shipping routes through the region:

A through route for vessels bound for the North Channel or Ports onthe West Coast of the U.K.

An offshore route to Dublin Bay.

A coastal route to Dublin Bay and Ports between Rosslare andDublin.

The East/West corridors through the Banks.

3.7.20.5 Within the coastal route are a number of internal channels, the North andSouth Shears, the Rusk Channel, and channels between the Codling,India and Arklow Banks and the Blackwater and Lucifer Banks.

3.7.20.6 All of these routes require appropriate AtoN to safely guide the mariner.The mix of aids required is dependant on a range of factors, includingsize and type of vessel involved, traffic density, proximity of hazards,etc.

3.7.20.7 In assessing the AtoN requirements in this area, it should be borne inmind that, due to the prevailing Southwesterly winds, many smaller orlower powered vessels, on coastal passage, seek the shelter of the landduring heavy weather from this direction, and thus pass well inside mostof the off-lying sandbanks.

3.7.20.8 There is a clear requirement for the provision of suitable AtoN for thesafe inshore passage around Tuskar Rock Lighthouse.

3.7.20.9 The changes proposed for this area can be summarised, as follows:Tuskar Lighthouse Establish AIS AtoN

3.7.21 AREA 21 - BAILY TO ST JOHN'S POINT DOWN

3.7.21.1 St John's point, Co. down, to Baily Lighthouse is a coastline, which canbe characterised throughout its entire length by a very low-lyingfeatureless foreshore. There is only one notable exception to this andthat is the area of the high coastal slopes of Slieve Donard, in theMourne Mountains, that border the sea just south of Newcastle, on thewestern shore of Dundrum Bay.

3.7.21.2 The coast between the two above mentioned reference points, St John'sPoint and Baily, falls away to the west and culminates in the shallowesturial waters of Dundalk Bay. Consequently, through-traffic in theIrish Sea, on passage between the Codling Lanby, or Kish Tower, andthe South Rock Lightfloat, transits well to the east of this region and haslittle or not use for the coastal aids to navigation provided therein.

3.7.21.3 However, there are many harbours and ports in the area, which generateconsiderable coastal traffic, including commercial, fishing and leisurecraft. The four main commercial ports are Drogheda, Dundalk,Greenore, and Wanenpoint, while the principal fishing and leisure boatharbours are Howth, Malahide, Rush, Sken-ies, Balbriggan, Port Oriel,Kilkeel and Annalong.

3.7.21.4 Most of the ports in this region have tidal limitations or restrictions, asthe foreshore throughout its length is shelving and shallow, consisting


The General Lighthouse Authorities of the United Kinedom and Ireland

mainly of sand and gravel but with some off-lying rocks in the vicinityof the south Down coast and the Skerries/Loughshinny area of the northCounty Dublin coast.

3.7.21.5 With the exception of Carlingford Lough, there is virtually no safeanchorage for vessels seeking shelter from strong on-shore winds in thisregion. It is a very exposed coast, which is consequently subject to localstructural damage and erosion in heavy easterly weather. A case in pointwas the havoc wreaked by Hurricane Charlie in the autunui of 1986.
