Permanent

1 and 2. ENGLAND - East Coast - Felixstowe S - Depths. Drying height. - two reduction, one reduced depth, one new drying height - on the Platters and Andrews Spit off Landguard. Then with a separate Preliminary Notice there are four other reduced depths and four new drying heights in the same area - save one reduced depth off the Cliff Rocks (at 1.3m). Very worthwhile I would suggest. Two images on: http://www.crossingthethamesestuary.com/page9.html;
3. ENGLAND - East Coast - River Thames - Bugsby’s Reach - Depths. - one reduced of depth (to 2.6m) on the edge of the main channel of the Thames off Blackwall Point;
4. BELGIUM - Zeebrugge and Blankenberge - Buoy. Fog signal. - deletion of a Yellow Special buoy off Blankenberge and deletion of the Fog Signal on the Port Control tower in Zeebrugge harbour;
5. ENGLAND - South Coast - Port of Dover - North Pier - Light-beacon. Light. - Two lights deleted from the North Pier - that's the eastern mole entering to the Marina;
6. BELGIUM - TSS Off North Hinder - Virtual aids to navigation. - Deep Sigh. This is a change of two topmarks on each of two virtual AIS buoy of the west of the Belwind Wind Farm off Belgium - hells bells and buckets of blood! Wot! Even the cat after sitting situated on the relevant part of the chart, got bored and went away!;
