INTRODUCTION
NP247(2), ADMIRALTY of Notices to Mariners -- Updates to Sailing Directions and Miscellaneous
Nautical Publications, contains the text of all updates to current editions of ADMIRALTY Sailing
Directions and Miscellaneous Nautical Publications which have been published in Sections IV and
VII of ADMIRALTY of Notices to Mariners, and which remain in force on 31 December 2018
(Week 52/18).
HOW TO USE THIS PUBLICATION
Current editions of Sailing Directions and Miscellaneous Nautical Publications

Updates to ADMIRALTY Sailing Directions and Miscellaneous Nautical Publications are always
applied to the most recent edition of the volume in use. Details of the most recent edition of any
particular volume can be established by consulting:
NP131 ADMIRALTY Chart Catalogue, published annually in December.
Part 1 and Part 3 of this publication, published annually in January.
NP234 Cumulative List of ADMIRALTY Notices to Mariners, published 6--monthly in January
and July.
New editions of ADMIRALTY Sailing Directions and Miscellaneous Nautical Publications are
announced in Section I of ADMIRALTY Notices to Mariners. A complete listing of current editions is
updated and published quarterly in Part IB of ADMIRALTY Notices to Mariners. It is also available
on the UKHO website at admiralty.co.uk.
Sailing Directions in Continuous Revision

Most volumes of ADMIRALTY Sailing Directions are kept up to date in a “Continuous Revision” cycle.
This means that once a new edition is published it will be continuously revised by its Editor for a period
of approximately 3 years using information received in the UKHO, and then republished. During the
life of the book, it is updated as necessary by notices published weekly at Section IV of ADMIRALTY
Notices to Mariners. These updates will normally be restricted to those critical to the safety of
navigation, and information required to be published as a result of changes to national legislation
affecting shipping, and to port regulations.
It is recommended that updates are kept in a file with the latest list of updates in force on top. The
list should then be consulted when using the parent book to see if any changes, affecting the area
under consideration, are in force. Mariners may also annotate the parent book with the relevant week
number at affected paragraphs to indicate the presence of an update. It is not recommended that
changes be pasted into the parent book.
Promulgation of Section IV and VII Notices to Mariners

Section IV and VII Notices to Mariners are published weekly in ADMIRALTY Notices to Mariners.
A check--list of all extant Notices, but not the text, is published quarterly at the end of Sections IV and
VII respectively of ADMIRALTY Notices to Mariners.
This volume, published annually, contains the full text of all extant Section IV and VII Notices.
iii

Submarine Pipelines and Cables
192
1 Caution The threats posed to mariners by fouling submarine cables are principally to vessel
stability or by electrocution. Particular care should be exercised should a vessel’s
trawl/fishing gear foul a cable and raise it from the sea floor. This may lead to a capsize
situation due to the excessive load. Before any attempt to slip or cut gear from the cable
is made, the cable should first be lowered to the seabed.
In all cases care should be taken to avoid damaging the cable. It is obligatory that gear
should be sacrificed rather than risk such damage.
Modern long-distance telephone cables are fitted with submarine repeaters at frequent
intervals to improve clarity; the repeaters contain components designed to function
unattended for 25 years at depths of 3 miles or more. Damage to telecommunication
cables can lead to extensive disruption of international communications, while damage to
power cables will interrupt electricity supplies, and could endanger life.
Where cables are known to be power transmission cables, charts are noted accordingly.
Submarine cables without such a note, however, must not be assumed to be of low voltage;
many countries do not distinguish between cables of different voltages. Also, high voltages
are fed into certain submarine cables other than power transmission cables.
Submarine cables should NEVER be cut. As all power cables and most
telecommunications cables carry dangerous voltages, cutting them is likely to endanger
life or cause serious injury. Furthermore, no claim in respect of injury or damage sustained
through such interference with a submarine cable is likely to be entertained.
2 Information The International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) has provided guidance regarding
submarine cables. It is replicated below.
3 IHO Resolution 4/1967 as Certain submarine cables are used for telecommunications functions while others are
amended by IHO Assembly used for power transmission. All power cables and most telecommunications cables carry
Decision 13 -- 2017 dangerous high voltages. Damaging or severing a submarine cable, whether a
telecommunications cable or a power cable, may, in some circumstances be considered
as a national disaster and very severe criminal penalties may apply. Electrocution, with
injury or loss of life, could occur if any cables carrying high voltage are broached.
Depending on whether the cable is primarily for power or telecommunications, damage
may result in power cuts, loss of voice, data transfer or internet connectivity. In these
circumstances cables are considered to be critical infrastructure.
In view of the serious consequences resulting from damage to submarine cables, vessel
operators should take special care when anchoring, fishing, mining, dredging, or engaging
in underwater operations near areas where these cables may exist or have been reported
to exist. In order to minimize the risk of such damage as much as possible, vessels should
avoid any such activity at a minimum distance of 025 nautical mile1 on either side of
submarine cables.
Mariners are also warned that the seafloor where cables were originally buried may have
changed and cables become exposed; therefore particular caution should be taken when
operating vessels in areas where submarine cables exist especially where the depth of
water means that there is a limited under--keel clearance.
Vessels fouling a submarine cable should not attempt to clear or raise the cable due to the
high possibility of damaging the cable. No attempt should be made to cut a cable and
anchors or gear that cannot be cleared should be slipped. Before any attempt to slip or cut
gear from the cable is made, the cable should first be lowered to the seafloor. Note that
there is a risk of capsizing smaller vessels (primarily fishing vessels) if they attempt to bring
a cable to the surface. Following an incident of fouling a cable, a vessel should immediately
notify the local responsible authority of the position, type, and amount of gear remaining
on the seafloor. In inland areas or along the coast, warning signs or marker beacons are
often erected to warn the mariner of the existence of submarine cables.
Incidents involving the fouling of submarine cables should be reported at the shortest
possible notice to the responsible authorities2 who should be advised as to the nature of
the problem and the position of the vessel.
Notes:
1. Each responsible authority can set this distance to a value that they feel is appropriate.
2. The responsible authorities can be listed here, as well as contact methods (telephone,
facsimile, VHF, e--mail, internet, etc.) and required information.
