Notice to Mariners No. 1 of 1954 (Repeating Admiralty Notice
to Mariners No. 1 of 1954)

CAUTION WHEN APPROACHING BRITISH AND COMMONWEALTH
PORTS

PART I
Closing of Ports; Stopping of Movement in Ports
Former Notices 1 and 2649/53 cancelled.
(1) My Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, in conjunction
with the Commonwealth Naval Authorities, having taken
into consideration the fact that it may be necessary to forbid
all entrance to certain ports under their control, this is to give
notice that on approaching the shores of the British Isles, or
any ports or localities in the Commonwealth, a sharp look-out
should be kept for the signals described in the following
paragraph, and for the vessels mentioned in paragraph (5),
Part II, of this notice, and the distinguishing and other signals
made by them. In the event of such signals being displayed,
the port or locality should be approached with great caution,
as it may be apprehended that obstructions may exist.
(2) If entrance to a port is prohibited, three red lights
vertically disposed by night, or three red balls vertically dis-
posed by day, will be exhibited in some conspicuous position,
in or near its approach, which signals will also be shown by
the vessels indicated in paragraph (5), Part II, of this Notice.
If these signals are displayed, vessels must approach the
port with the greatest caution and implicitly obey all orders
or signals given them by the Examination Vessel, Traffic
Control Vessel, or signal station.
If movement of shipping in a port or anchorage under
naval control is prohibited, three lights red-green-red
vertically disposed by night, or a blue flag by day, will be
exhibited. Signals affecting movement of shipping in parts
of a port will be found in the Public Traffic Regulations for
that port.
(3) At some ports or localities at home or abroad, search-
lights are occasionally exhibited for exercise.
Instructions have been given to avoid directing movable
searchlights during practice on to vessels under way, but
mariners are warned that great care should be taken to keep
a sharp look-out for the signals indicated in paragraph (2)
above, when searchlights are observed to be working.
Vessels are particularly warned not to enter a declared
' Dangerous Area' or approach boom defences without
permission, nor to anchor or remain stopped in a dangerous
area or prohibited anchorage unless specially instructed so
to do.

PART II
Examination Service
(4) In certain circumstances it is also necessary to take
special measures to examine individual vessels desiring to enter
ports and localities at home and abroad and to control entry
generally. This is the function of the Examination Service.
Where Traffic Control Vessels take the place of Examination
Vessels their authority is the same.
