Lands End TSS extended north by 12 miles

It is understood that the main reason for the revision is to guide shipping clear of the SW Wave Hub area, approximately 10 miles north of Hayle.

Reminder – penalties for misusing TSS are steep for all types of craft and there have been numerous successful prosecutions against leisure skippers for entering these traffic schemes incorrectly.

While NM627/09 states that there are no changes to the charted inshore traffic zones, the Feb 2009 update to Reeds Nautical Almanac states that “the ITZ between the TSS and Land’s End will be extended north by 2 miles”; the chartlet accompanying the NM indicates that this is correct.
