Replacement of lead lights with sector lead lights
Where
When
The works
Transport for NSW advises vessel operators that in order to improve navigation across the Forster bar into the entrance of Cape Hawke Harbour at Forster, the current lead lights are being upgraded to sector lead lights. These works will continue until further notice.
Navigation warning
A sector light is a fixed aid to navigation that displays a light of different colours and/or rhythms over designated arcs. The colour of the light provides directional information to aid navigation of vessels. The safest bearing is the centreline channel indicated by a white light. The light remains visible at day and night.
Vessels should log on with Marine Rescue and seek advice before crossing the Forster Bar when entering Cape Hawke Harbour. Vessel operators are reminded to be extra vigilant and exercise caution when operating in the area.
This navigation warning remains in place until further notice.
