Dredging works were set to commence this week at Dingle Fishery Harbour Centre and are expected to be ongoing until the end of February 2018.
The works will involve the dredging of the north/south section of the main navigation channel and an area between the breakwaters off the main quay head.
The vessel Grete Fighter (Callsign: OZLP2) and the jack-up barge Yo Yo will be onsite and will maintain a VHF watch on Channel 16/14.
Three Special Mark (monitoring buoy) Fl Y 2s will be in positions 150 meters east, west and south of the north/south channel within the fishery harbour centre.
The Grete Fighter will be transiting to an approved dumpsite east of Beenban Head marked by four special marks.
Port hand marks and leading lights will be affected during the course of the works.
For safety reasons, mariners are requested to proceed slowly and with caution when in the vicinity of the dredging vessels in the fishery harbour centre and to give the works a wide berth.
Contact details and co-ordinates of the dump area are included in Marine Notice No 53 of 2017
