Paragraph 11 Movements of Vessels in the Harbour and its approach channel during poor visibility

At any time when the visibility in the Harbour or approach channel is less than 0.25 of a nautical mile the Queen’s Harbour Master may declare fog routine to be in force. Whilst the routine is in force no vessel of an overall length of more than 20 metres shall enter the Harbour or approach channel or leave her berth or mooring therein or weigh anchor, except with the permission of the Queen’s Harbour Master.

Small boats may proceed at the Master’s discretion with caution and must keep clear of the main navigable channels and the approach channel.

The Queen’s Harbour Master will direct that the routine is in force and when it has ended by broadcasts on VHF radio Channels 11 or 13.
