DEPTHS AND BUOYAGE
The channels and depths shown on this chart are subject to frequent
change; the buoyage is adjusted accordingly. For the latest
information mariners are advised to consult Brandaris Vessel Traffic
Centre, VHF 2.

TIDAL STREAMS
Attention is drawn to the strong tidal streams in
these waters. For tidal streams and tidal information
see HP 33 Tidal heights and streams for coastal 
waters of the Netherlands and adjacent waters and
HP 33D-NLTides published by the Netherlands Hydrographer.

WINTER-BUOYAGE
From ± October-April buoyage may be replaced
by winter-buoyage. In severe winters buoyage
is withdrawn. Buoyage will be replaced in order
of importance. In spring it is possible that not
all channels are already buoyed as charted.

CABLES AND PIPELINES
Mariners are advised not to anchor or trawl in the vicinity of
cables and pipelines. Pipelines are not always buried and their presence may
effectively reduce the charted depth by up to 2 metres. They may
also span seabed undulations and cause fishing gear to become
irrecoverably snagged, putting a vessel in severe danger. See the
Netherlands Coast Pilot (HP 1).
