Article 18 Lights on tidal works, etc.I1
England, Wales and Scotland
In the locations specified in paragraph (2), the Harbour Authority shall—
at the times specified in paragraph (3), exhibit such lights, if any, and take such other steps for the prevention of danger to navigation as the PLA may from time to time direct; and
provide or afford reasonable facilities (including an electricity supply) for the PLA to provide from time to time (at the Harbour Authority’s cost), such navigational lights, signals, radar or other apparatus for the benefit, control and direction of navigation as the PLA may deem necessary.
The locations referred to in paragraph (1) are—
once a tidal work (other than one authorised under article 13 (power to dredge)) is completed, at or near the outer extremity of that tidal work; and
whilst any tidal work is being constructed, at or near appropriate points in relation to that tidal work.
The times referred to in paragraph (1)(a) are—
every night from sunset to sunrise; and
at all times when there are conditions of restricted visibility in the vicinity of the tidal work.
The Harbour Authority shall not in the exercise of the powers granted by this Order interfere with the marks, lights and other aids to navigation in the river without the agreement of the PLA and shall ensure access remains available to such aids during and following construction of any tidal work.
Without prejudice to section 133 of the 1968 Act, the Harbour Authority shall comply with the directions of the Harbour Master from time to time with regard to the lights on any tidal work or within the port premises, or the screening of such lights, to ensure that the lights are not a hazard to navigation on the river.
The Harbour Authority shall be liable—
on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum; or
on conviction on indictment to a fine,
for a failure to comply with a direction given under this article.
