Lands End TSS

Editor — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 18:06:41 +0000

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.

New Season coming…

I have successfully delivered a Phantom Fairline 46ft Motor Yacht “Phantasea” to Veerhaven in Rotterdam. The conditions were beautiful with a maximum wind force of Force 3. The sea state was smooth to slight. The passage from Weymouth to Ramsgate was the longest day with a few fog patches. A good meal in the evening at pizza express with Dutch company and some dancing lessons in the local club. The next day saw a 5 hour crossing from Ramsgate to Rotterdam entrance “The Maas!” Considering we were motoring out of the Dover straits and following the traffic separation schemes the traffic was light. On arrival to the Maas entrance we checked in with the port and followed a tanker up the river towards Rotterdam central. Rotterdam is the second largest port in the world, so we navigated carefully avoiding all ships. After a 12 mile trip up the river we arrived at Veerhaven and celebrated in style at a local restaurant! Later i checked in to CitizenM in Amsterdam which i recommend, a new trendy hotel located at the airport. Marcel said “Many thanks to you, we all had a great time on the boat, during the trip and in the evenings. We made a very well and safe trip from Rotterdam to Lobith. We sure will send you the foto’s asap.”
