This report is intended to give the reader an overview of how ABP manage the navigational safety of the Humber Estuary, Rivers Ouse, Trent and the Humber, in relation to its obligations as a Harbour and Pilotage Authority. The Humber continues to be the busiest estuary in the United Kingdom with some 13,312 inward shipping movements in 2010, giving rise to 29,453 vessel movements in total. In addition, there were 4,211 recorded Oil Barge movements moving 1.21 million tonnes of product between Immingham, Hull and upriver destinations. Latest available statistical figures indicate that in excess of 76.9 million tonnes of cargo and over 1.007 million passengers were handled.

An order for a new pilot launch was placed with Mustang Marine of South Wales in May 2010. The Nelson 48/50 launch is from the same mould used for our existing fleet but previously supplied by Halmatic. The boat was delivered in early 2011 and named “Humber Mercury”.

Towards the end of 2010 Siemens and Associated British Ports announced that they have signed a Memorandum of Understanding in connection with ABP's proposed Green Port Hull development at Alexandra Dock, Hull. The parties have agreed to work together to develop plans for the construction of a new Siemens offshore wind turbine manufacturing and export facility at the port with the aim of executing definitive agreements later in 2011.

On the South bank, Able UK are also proceeding with a consent application to build a berth between South Killingholme Oil Jetty and Killingholme Haven to support offshore wind farm manufacturing and exports.

Consent applications for the building of an outer Ro-Ro berth at Grimsby and the deepening of the Sunk Dredged Channel were also submitted in 2010 and both were approved early in 2011.

2010 saw an increase in river traffic overall (4.9% higher than 2009) due to the recovery in the economy with highest concentrations of vessel traffic again centred on the Immingham area. Navigational incidents increased by 8.5% (v 2009). Within this figure “Ship Defects” and “Collision with Structures” increased by 10% and 11.9% respectively and we continue to work closely with the MCA and MAIB in an effort to reduce these.

Ships Name: Remarks

29 Jan FEHN MISTRAL Vessel outward declared that he would use the NSH. Turned into the inward lane of the Sea Reach. Communications and intentions were poor and unclear. When VTS asked if the Captain was on the bridge, after a short period apparently a different voice answered and the vessel altered course to the South to enter the outward lane of the Sea Reach. VTS spoke to the pilot on his return to Port House, who confirmed that the bridge was well equipped and that the courses up the NSH were laid off on the chart.

13 May MEKHANIK KRASKOVSKIY Vessel outward bound approaching North New Sand Buoy passes both close and east of the buoy. Challenged as to reasons - no reply.

06 Jun OAK V/L heaved up anchor from DWA "J" and did not enter the TSS at the OSR buoy. Despite numerous communications from VTS he did not follow the required route. Pilot asked to explain TSS regulations to bridge team once on board.

09 Jun OCEANIC STAR Pleasure craft Oceanic Star enters the VTS area and proceeds across the New Sand Hole TSS causing concern to vessels within the TSS. Craft initially showing an AIS MMSI number but appeared to turn this off when contacted by VHF Pilot launch in the area sent to identify and contact made. Vessel proceeding in restricted visibility at 18 knots and crossing a TSS. CG informed.

Conservancy Activities

December 2009 to December 2010

During this twelve-month period, the Survey Section of Humber Estuary Services undertook 724 individual hydrographic surveys, including 5 contract surveys for outside parties, 98 for UK Dredging and 85 Ouse leading line surveys. The greater part of the data obtained was passed to the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office to form the basis of Admiralty charts for the Humber Area. All information gained from these surveys was processed and charted, resulting in the production and distribution of over, 10,000 chart copies, mainly to be used in Pilotage and general navigation, a number of the local charts also being offered for general sale.

The survey work resulted in the planning and carrying out of some 55 movements of floating navigation marks, in order to mark the fluctuations in the alignment of the navigable channel, mainly in the Upper Humber. In addition, out of a total of 79 local Notices to Mariners issued during the period, based on survey results, 48 contained warnings of shoal water.

The monitoring and maintenance of navigational aids dealt with 7 reports of deficiencies in floating marks and 4 in shore marks all being satisfactorily dealt with.

The “Skitter” channel continued to be effectively the main channel for traffic bound to and from the rivers Trent and Ouse due to the continued shoaling in the Hessle Sands area.

Skitter Channel

Page 62 of 81

In January trials of a Multibeam surveying system were finished successfully and a new system was purchased in May for installation aboard the Humber Ranger

The 3 gas pipes that cross the Humber at Thorngumbald, continued to expose further. The Northern pipe fractured after being shut down. Stabilisation works commenced on the Southernmost pipeline in November with 3 moves of floating marks taking place so as not to impede vessel movements in the area.

The Southern side of the channel at King George Dock suffered from extensive shoaling. Several floating mark moves and a new deposit ground to the South helped to mitigate the effects of the shoaling.

The Sunk Dredged Channel (SDC) remained at 9.5m below chart datum or deeper throughout the year and required no dredging with the Chequer shoal bar being the restricting area for deeper draft vessels.
