4 2017-08/114 GENERAL NOTICE - NEW PUBLICATION: ENC s VLAAMSE BANKEN - CAUTION USE OF ECDIS WITH CHANGING TRAFFIC SEPARATION SCHEMES (TSS) AND ROUTEING MEASURES Concerns: ENC s BE3VLBNK and BE4VLBNK. On 1 June 2017 0000 UTC, major changes will come into force in the traffic separation schemes (TSS) and routeing measures in the southern North Sea. These changes were already announced in BaZ 2017-03/062(P), 2017-03/063(P), 2017-03/064(P), 2017-03/065(P), 2017-03/066(P), 2017-03/069(P), 2017-03/070(P) and 2017-04/072(P). From now until the beginning of June 2017, in the ENC s that cover these changes, both the old and the new situation will be included. By using the attributes DATEND (before the change) and DATSTA (after the change) on the modified components of the traffic separation schemes and routeing measures, the ECDIS will visualize the right prevailing situation. Control the correct settings of your ECDIS to visualize the correct ENC (see your ECDIS manual). Using wrong settings may result in showing both the old and the new situation simultaneously.

5 2017-08/115 GENERAL NOTICE - PORT OF ZEEBRUGGE - ADDITIONAL REGULATIONS LNG BUNKER VESSEL Charts: D11, 101 (INT1474), XD11, X101 (INT1474) Additional regulations maritime traffic from arrival LNG bunker vessel From the 4th of April 2017, an LNG bunker vessel (LBV) (the Engie Zeebrugge ) will be operational in the port of Zeebrugge-Brugge. From then following rules will be applicable: When an LBV is positioned alongside a receiving vessel or is moored alongside a quay, maritime traffic must pass at a distance of minimum 30 meters with a sailing speed not exceeding 6 knots. When an LBV is sailing in the port, maritime traffic must keep a minimal distance of 1 cable fore or aft and keep minimum passing distance of 50 meters. Here again, the maximal speed is 6 knots. Before every shift an LBV will broadcast its sailing plan in English on VHF channel 68 when relevant for the inner port or VHF channel 71 when relevant for the outer port. As for lock passages, the LBV is the last vessel to enter the lock and in principle the last to leave the lock, unless the lock master instructs otherwise. When the LBV is in the lock, hot work and smoking is prohibited in the lock area (materialized by fencing on all sides) and on all other ships in the lock. The Port Authority will monitor the speed at all times. Infringement of this rule will be sanctioned accordingly. Other speed restrictions are still applicable. Source: MBZ Zeebrugge
