New Safety Exclusion Zone Signals Start of DWDR Marine Activity
This is essential to ensure the safety of all marine and leisure users during the construction and piling phases of the project. The safety zones will be signposted at various
A new marine safety exclusion zone has been established in Dover harbour as the Dover Western Docks Revival (DWDR) marine civil engineering gathers momentum. The safety zone will provide a marked delineation
between the dedicated swim and lesiure zone and the marine construction area to the east of the Prince of Wales Pier. The zone will be defined by the Prince of Wales Pier to the west and the shoreline to the north. This is an extension to the existing 50m safety zone
which was in place, adjacent to the Prince of Wales Pier, during recent height reduction works.
locations along the seafront Esplanade. Due to the waterborne noise generated by the piling activity swimming prohibition notices will also be posted advising when it is safe to swim. The Port of Dover General Manager of Operations and Harbour Master, Paul Brown, said: “For their own safety marine and leisure users may not enter the restricted area at any time as indicated by the line of buoys shown in yellow in the diagram. “During construction, marine users should expect to see a significant increase in construction craft movements in and around the Western docks. These include large-scale dredgers, crane barges, multi-cats/tugs and safety boats. “Marine users are therefore advised to navigate with caution at all times and to take directions from Dover Port Control (VTS) when required.” The safety zone will be in place throughout the construction period.
The Spy Who Loved… Waterways!
In April, Practical Classics magazine chose Priory Marina, Bedford, owned by British Waterways Marinas Ltd (BWML), as the location to feature the restoration of the iconic Lotus Esprit similar to the one that was used in the Bond film ‘The Spy Who Loved Me’, to commemorate the film’s 40th anniversary. The magazine wanted to use the marina to provide some background glamour, and to recreate the scene where the car emerges from the water and Roger Moore drops a fish out of the window. The photo that appeared in the magazine was shot on the slipway at Priory Marina. John Highmore, Priory Marina Manager for BWML said, “It was a great thrill to be involved in a
professional photoshoot with such an iconic vehicle, and our staff and customers are all delighted that ‘Practical Classics’ magazine selected Priory Marina to add some atmosphere to the photographs. After all, it’s not every day that you get to feel like James Bond!”
