Feedback wanted on proposed Pilot Boarding Ground near Port of Corner Inlet and Port Albert by 30 September 2023
Gippsland Ports plans to create a Pilot Boarding Ground (PBG) near Corner Inlet entrance. They seek feedback from mariners, waterway users, and port operators by September 30, 2023. Contact details provided.
Mariners, waterway users and Port Facility Operators are advised that Gippsland Ports through Maritime Safety Victoria intends to establish a Pilot Boarding Ground (PBG) near the approaches of the entrance to Corner Inlet. As part of the process to establish a PBG this Local Navigation Notice is promulgated to inform Mariners, waterway users and Port Facility Operators of the position and dimensions of the proposed PBG, of the intention to establish, and any navigation hazards that may be presented.
The Pilot Boarding Ground (PBG) centre will be positioned 5.0 nautical miles from Corner Inlet No.1 South Cardinal Sea Buoy on Wilsons Promontory
Proposed PBG
The proposed PBG will distinguish an area of water outside the Port Boundary of Corner Inlet to allow a position to be plotted on ECDIS ENC Cells and Paper Charts for the safe embarkation and disembarkation of Marine Pilots, to and from visiting Ships that require Pilotage to enter and depart Corner Inlet.
The PBG will not be marked with aids to navigation other than a plotted position circle on nautical ENC Cells and Paper Charts. The area will not be a restricted zone or an exclusion zone and will remain open water for the navigation of all vessels.
PBG establishment details
The PBG is proposed to be established within a radius of 0.5 nautical miles with the centre of the PBG 5.0 nautical miles distant from Corner Inlet No.1 South Cardinal Sea Buoy (VQ(6)+LFl.10s.5m.4M) on a bearing of 278 degrees T from Lighthouse Point on Wilsons Promontory. The centre of the proposed PBG will be in position:
- Lat. 38 degrees 52.033' S
- Lon. 146 degrees 42.031' E
- Datum WGS84
The attached chartlet Aus.181 describes the aspect and relative position to Corner Inlet Entrance of the proposed PBG.
