Marine Department,
Wellington, N.Z., 13th August, 1940.

CAUTION WHEN APPROACHING BRITISH PORTS.

Amendment to Former Notice.

Former Notices: Admiralty No. 1 of 1940 in force.
No. 986 of 1940 hereby cancelled. New Zealand No. 17
of 1939 in force. No. 21 of 1940 hereby cancelled.

PART III.—MINE-SWEEPING OPERATIONS.

Amendment:—

H.M. Vessels engaged in mine-sweeping operations or
exercises are hampered to a considerable extent in their
manoeuvring powers.

Vessels must keep clear of Mine-sweepers.

With a view to indicating the nature of the work on which
they are engaged, these vessels will show the signals herein-
after mentioned. For the public safety all other vessels,
whether steamers or sailing craft, should endeavour to keep
out of the way of vessels flying these signals and not
approach them inside the distances mentioned herein,
specially remembering that it is dangerous to pass between
the vessels of a pair or group sweeping together.

1. Signals shown by Day.

When towing sweeps.

All vessels towing sweeps are to show:—

By day.—A black ball at the fore masthead and a black
ball at the yardarm on the side or sides on which it is
dangerous for vessels to pass.

By night.—All round green lights instead of the black
balls, and in a similar manner.

(b) Vessels or formations showing these signals are not
to be approached nearer than 500 yards on either
beam and ships are not to cross astern at a less
distance than 1,000 yards.

In no circumstances is a ship to pass through
a formation of mine-sweepers.

(c) Mine-sweepers should be prepared to warn merchant
vessels who persist in approaching too close by
means of any of the appropriate signals from the
Merchant Navy Code or the International Code
of Signals.

NOTE.—The above amendment cancels “Part III.—Mine-
sweeping Operations” in former notices.

Authority: Admiralty Notice No. 1437 of 1940.
