      ………………………………………………………….

       

      The primary Wind Farm Site guard vessel ‘KARIMA’ will be on site and can be contacted for any information regarding vessel movements, a listening watch will be kept on VHF Channels 16 & 12.

       

      ’KARIMA’ will conduct 6 hourly Securite broadcasts informing Mariners of site relevant safety information, these will be announced on VHF Channel 16 and broadcast will take place on VHF channel 67 at 06:00, 12:00, 18:00 & 00:00.

       

      Please note that the chartlet is provided for information purposes only and should not be used for navigation.
