Passage Planning

The inner Firth of Tay and River Tay is made of shallow and shifting sand banks. Mariners are advised to navigate with caution at all times. 

All vessels should ensure a minimum of 0.2m Under Keel Clearance (UKC) is maintained at all times on passage. 

Every vessel's navigational passage should be planned in adequate detail to/from the berth and with contingency plans such as abort positions and anchorages where appropriate when navigating on the Firth/River Tay. This should be in accordance with IMO resolution A.893(21) - https://wwwcdn.imo.org/localresources/en/KnowledgeCentre/IndexofIMOResolutions/AssemblyDocuments/A.893(21).pdf
