Mariners are advised that TasWater has completed the installation of a new water main pipeline on the seabed between Alginate Bay and Paddys Point in Spring Bay.

The final installed position of the pipeline is as follows:

Point 01:  Latitude 42° 32.424’S Longitude 147° 54.905’E

Point 02: Latitude 42° 32.381’S Longitude 147° 55.094’E

The pipeline now lies on the seabed and is no longer marked on the surface.

The Marine and Safety (Pilotage and Navigation) Regulations 2017 determine that the master of a vessel must not anchor, or dredge an anchor or any other equipment from the vessel, within 90 metres of a submarine pipeline.
