M228-25(T) Port of Devonport – Mersey River – Beacon 13 – Temporary Removal
Mariners are advised the Mersey River beacon no 13 lateral mark (adjacent to Sayers Point)
has been temporarily removed to allow for waterside piling works associated with berth
construction at Devonport berth 3 West (new TT Line berth).
Whilst the topmark has been removed, a stub end of the supporting pile remains embedded
in the riverbed and poses a hazard to navigation.
The previous beacon location and stub end has been marked by a Yellow Buoy with flashing
light characteristic.
The beacon no 13 topmark will be reinstated as the works near completion.
Mariners should navigate with caution in the area.
