Notice to Mariners No. 54 of 1912.

DREDGING OPERATIONS IN LYTTLETON HARBOUR.

Marine Department,
Wellington, N.Z., 4th June, 1912.

THE Lyttelton Harbour Board notifies that dredging operations are now proceeding in the outer channel of Lyttelton Harbour, and masters of vessels are cautioned to pass the dredge while she is actually dredging on the side on which two black balls are shown.

The dredge “Canterbury” dredges while under way without moorings, and the showing of the black balls must be taken to indicate that the drag suction head is on the bottom, and that the dredge is actually dredging and not merely steaming to or from the dredging-ground.

Attention is also directed to Rule No. 34 of the General Harbour Regulations, which provides that : “Steamships about to pass any dredging-machine at work in any harbour, river, or channel, on any licensed ferry, or public work in progress must slow their engines at such a distance before approaching any such dredge, ferry, or work as to insure their passing it at a speed not greater than dead slow.”

Charts, &c., affected : Admiralty Chart No. 1999; “New Zealand Pilot,” eighth edition, 1908, Chapter viii, page 239.
