Use of channels, buoyage and aids to navigation

Traficom issues regulations on the marking and lighting of channels and the maritime buoyage system used and the names, structure, meaning, and colour and light characters of aids to navigation.

Instructions for the use of public channels

Traficom confirms the design draught and the safe clearance depth for each public channel. The design draught refers to the planned draught at which the channel’s design vessel can normally use the channel; however, different draughts can be used if the conditions allow it.
