Support The Kingfisher Bulletin is provided by the Kingfisher Information Service of Seafish, to promote the awareness of offshore hazards to fishing, new structures and zones and conflicting offshore operations. Support for the production of subsea cables industry information is received from The Crown Estate and the European Subsea Cables Association (ESCA).

Information Information contained within the Kingfisher Bulletin comes from a variety of sources, although is in the majority, supplied directly to Kingfisher from the offshore operating industry, or government licensing authorities.

Coordinates within the Kingfisher Bulletin are converted into World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS84) and displayed as degrees, minutes and decimal minutes, to three decimal places (ddd°mm.mmm’). Route or boundary coordinates may be simplified for ease of use.

Havfrue Cable System – West Ireland,Scotland,North Sea,Norway,Denmark

Marine operations to install the Havfrue cable system will be conducted in the waters West of Ireland, North of Scotland, The North Sea, southern Norway, and Denmark between April and September 2019.

Cable ships will clear each route of seabed debris with a grapnel before installing the cable. The installation vessel will be moving slowly along the route covering approximately 15km per day while towing a sea plow to bury the cable into the seabed. Ships are asked to avoid using anchors, bottom trawl fishing and other seabed gear within ½ mile of this cable route, and to maintain 1 nautical mile distance from the cable ship during installa¬tion operations. We also request that static gear be relocated from the route prior to installation. We will provide updated notification prior to the installation start. Notice to Mariners will also be issued. The cable is armored and has an OD of between 29mm and 36mm.

Vessels: CS Decisive – V7DI7, CS Durable – V7DI8, CS Responder – V7CY9 Rock Dumping Vessel: PCKX

IFA2 Interconnector Project – Preparation Works

Mariners are advised about Preparation Works for the IFA2 project which is a HVDC electricity transmission interconnector between France and England across the English Channel. The French landfall is North of Caen, at Merville-Franceville, in the Baie de Seine, and the English landfall is at Daedalus, in The Solent and Approaches.

In addition to the main HVDC interconnection there is a HVAC link from the converter station at the main English landfall

Daedalus to a substation further up Southampton Water at Chilling Brownwich HDD landfall. An overview of the HVDC & HVAC cable routes can be seen in figure 4 and 5 below where the works associated to this NTM are indicated. The preparation works for the HVAC installation campaigns are planned to commence on the 12th of April 2019 and be completed by the 5th of May 2019. More details on planning are shown below in the notice.

The route length of the main HVDC interconnection (2x bundles power cables + 1x Fibre Optic Cable) is in the order of 204km.

The preparation works covered within this Notice to Mariners are divided in the following activities:

Pre-lay Survey Pre-lay Grapnel Run (PLGR)

The works are being carried out by NEXT GEOSOLUTIONS using the M/V WESSEX EXPLORER (Call Sign 2WWE) for the Nearshore survey activities (water depth below 15m) and using the M/V WILLENDEAVOUR (Call Sign MMPC) for the Nearshore PLGR activities (water depth below 15m).

Vessels are requested to pass at a safe speed and distance and fishing vessels are advised to remain a safe distance (approximately 0.5 nautical miles) from the areas identified. During these works the vessel will have restricted manoeuvrability as it completes its work scope.

The vessels will monitor VHF Channel 16 at all times.

Isle of Man Interconnector Cable –

The Isle of Man Interconnector Cable runs beneath the sea between Douglas on the Isle of Man and Bispham on the Lancashire coast. It was installed in September 2000 and spans a distance of 104km (56 nautical miles), linking the Isle of Man to the UK National Grid.

An updated information leaflet for mariners about the IOM Interconnector Cable has been produced in January 2019 and can be downloaded here. The key features of the cable route of interest to mariners are summarised below. Cable Protection At several points along the cable route the cable is surface laid where there are joints between sections of the cable and where it crosses other cables and pipelines. To protect the surface laid cable along the route, protective mattresses have been installed at six locations. Details of these locations are given in maps that are shown in the leaflet that can be downloaded here. Surveys in 2011 found that there had been some movement of the rock mattresses at KP57.3 on the cable (from 53° 57.24' N 003° 40.80' W to 53° 57.12' N 3° 40.50' W), which is approximately 30.5km (16.5nmi) west of the Lune Deep cardinal marker buoy . You can download a notice about the rock mattresses along the cable route and potential hazards in this area here. Exposed Cable close to Lancashire coast The seabed close to the Lancashire coast is very mobile. Parts of the cable lying within 2 nautical miles of the Lancashire coast may occasionally be exposed by movements of the sand on the seabed. The Manx Cable Company monitor the cable carefully along this part of the route, and have published a notice to mariners based on survey information that can be downloaded here. Background information More information about the IOM Interconnector cable can be found on our website here. The Manx Cable Company is part of Manx Utilities. More information about the Manx Cable Company can be found here.

Scottish Hydro Electric Power Distribution – Bute - Cumbrae

Please be advised that subsea cable installation works between Kerrylamont Bay on Bute and Bell Bay on Cumbrae will begin from 04/02/19 for approximately one month, weather permitting.

Briggs Marine Contractors (on behalf of SHEPD) are undertaking these operations, which include pre-lay grapnel runs, boulder clearance, cable installation and cable burial. These works will be concentrated within the cable route corridor.

From: 55°46.687'N 143°00.000'W to 55°46.693'N 011°00.000'E

Vessels: Elektron – LADO, Forth Jouster – 2BME4, Kingdom of Fife – 2BKR2, Celtic Trader, Celtic Voyager, Celtic Navigator / Wanderer /Explorer

A pre-lay grapnel run will be completed along the cable route by the vessel the Kingdom of Fife. This will ensure that debris (e.g. redundant cables, fishing gear, discarded wires/ropes) is cleared in advance of the cable lay. Pre-lay Grapnel Run (PLGR) activity will be carried out by towing a set of grapnels along the cable route on the seabed. This activity will be carried out between the 10m contours.

Boulder clearance will be carried out by divers operating a boulder grab from the vessel the Forth Jouster on a 12 hour (day) basis. Forth Jouster will be stationary on spud legs during these operations. This activity will be carried out in shallow water close to Kerrylamont Bay.

Cable installation will be completed by Elektron, during which time it will be assisted by Forth Jouster and the workboats Celtic Trader, Celtic Voyager and two of Celtic Navigator / Wanderer / Explorer. Cable lay operations will be conducted on a 24 hour basis.

Burial of the cable will be achieved by controlled flow excavation launched from Elektron and, in the shallows, by operating from Forth Jouster. These operations will be assisted by the support craft. Burial operations aboard Elektron will be conducted on a 24 hour basis while the diver led burial will be conducted on a 12 hour (day) basis. During diving operations, Forth Jouster will be stationary on spud legs. Other vessels should maintain an appropriate and safe distance of 500 m when passing the vessels whilst operational and should pass at the lowest possible speed to avoid vessel wash effects. Vessels will be working throughout 24 hours and will display appropriate day shapes and lights during reduced visibility and night operations. The vessels will also monitor VHF Channels 16 and 12.
