The Port of WisbechWisbech welcomes vessels up to a maximum of 83m L.O.A. and 13m beam. Vessels under 60m no Tug attendance required to swing in the turning basin. Vessels 60 - 75m without bow thruster Tug attendance required to swing in the turning basin.

All vessels over 75 - 83m Tug attendance required to swing in the turning basin. Vessels require maximum draft of tidal prediction minus 2 metres up to a maximum of 4.88m.

All vessels are required to offer good forward visibility. In order to swing. Masters are advised that adverse weather conditions can cause large variations on prediction, affecting the restrictions on draft.

Vessels of unusual construction, or with restricted or limited visibility require prior permission of the Harbour Master and may be subject to daylight only passage and/or a tug attending.12 hours notice may be required to order the tug. For any vessel sailing from Wisbech in loaded or part loaded condition, maximum draft should be calculated by prediction minus 2.4 metres. All such vessels should agree their departure plan with the Pilot Master well in advance of ETD. Outward vessels in ballast are requested to have minimum draft possible prior to departure.

Further information from Harbour Master or Pilot Master.

Port Sutton BridgeMasters, Owners & Charterers are advised to request the latest information from Sutton Bridge Ship Agency, telephone +44 (0)1406 351133, with regard to maximum vessel dimensions. Maximum drafts are as the predicted tide height minus 1 (one) metre. In general the maximum vessel dimensions and details are as follows:-

Vessels up to 90m LOA: draft as per maximum draft tables to a maximum draft of 6.00m. Vessels 90m-120m LOA: use maximum draft tables - 0.5m to a maximum draft of 6.00m. Vessels over 100m LOA: to order the tug attendance from Bill Buoy to PSB, such a manoeuvre to be carried out on a daylight tide only. Vessels 85m-100m LOA without a bow thruster & vessels 95m-100m LOA with a bow thruster will require a tug to assist/standby when swinging in the Port swinging basin. Vessels over 100m LOA and/or vessels of unusual construction affecting visability or manoeuvring capability, such as vessels with forward wheelhouses, limited forward visability due to deck cargo, high sided vessels and vessels which can only berth either port or starboard side to the quay require prior permission from the Nene Ports Authority Harbour Master and may be subject to limiting conditions eg: tug attendance, daylight passage only etc. Failure to obtain prior permission may result in a delay. All vessels: Maximum beam 17m.

Vessels outside these limits may be accepted due to exceptional circumstances and after prior consultation with the Nene Ports Authority Harbour Master. In any event all vessels are subject to acceptance by Port Sutton Bridge. Port Sutton Bridge operates on a NAABSA basis viz. “Not always afloat but safely aground”. The implication being that vessels must be capable of taking the ground.

Speed Limits on the River Nene and Nene Approach Channel.

Mariners are reminded regarding the speed of their vessels when navigating in harbour authority waters.

Rule 6 of the COLREGS requires every vessel to proceed at a safe speed and for most practical purposes locally, the governing factors are:-

a) causing no wash and b) proceeding at a safe speed so that she can take proper and effective action to avoid collision and be stopped within a distance appropriate to the prevailing circumstance and conditions.

Causing wash erodes banks, compromising flood protection and wildlife habitats and can cause damage to moored craft. It can even represent a hazard to ships while cargo handling.

It is accepted that planing craft can create less wash at speed than when moving slowly but within the limits of both the Port of Wisbech and Port Sutton Bridge, the following stipulation must be adhered to by all vessels save those with the permission of the Harbour Master:-

Port of Wisbech - Between Port Hand Beacon ‘DRAKES’ and Elgood’s Brewery.

Port Sutton Bridge – Between Port Hand Beacon ‘DOUBLE REDS’ and the sluice, six (6) cables south of Cross Keys Swing Bridge.

The strict, maximum speed limit in these areas is six (6) knots through the water, creating no wash. Mariners are also reminded that from time to time, speed monitoring exercises will be undertaken by the harbour authority.

Page 12: Nene Ports Tide Tables 2017

Port Marine Safety CodeMaritime and marine related operations within the Port of Wisbech Authority and Wisbech Pilotage District are subject to the local Port Marine Safety Code. This represents a commitment on the part of the Authority and marine businesses to:-

Safety Management, Risk Assessment, Port Emergency Plan, Oil Spill Contingency Plan, Flood Action Plan, Port Waste Management, Port Health and Port Environmental Management Plan All ships’ Masters and those in charge of small craft are advised to consult with their local agents or the Harbour Office to ensure compliance and to obtain a copy of the Port Bye Laws currently in force.

International Ship and PortFacility Security Code

From 1 July 2004, the ports of Wisbech and Sutton Bridge and the area of jurisdiction of the Port of Wisbech Authority have been subject to the ISPS Code incorporating the Aviation and Maritime Security Act 1990 and the Merchant Shipping and Maritime Security Act 1997.

All ships, boats and personnel using these ports and waters are required to be compliant within the terms of the code and failure in this respect can lead to exclusion, restriction and/or prosecution.

Any enquiries concerning the extent of such compliance can be addressed to the Port of Wisbech Authority or to the appropriate port facility.

Page 13: Nene Ports Tide Tables 2017

Port HealthFenland District Council incorporates Wisbech Port Health Authority which covers both Wisbech Port and Port Sutton Bridge.

The Authority provides a Port Health Service to commercial ships, leisure vessels and fishing vessels.

International health regulations require a commercial ship arriving from a foreign port to carry a valid Ship Sanitation Control (Exemption) Certificate to show satisfactory standard of hygiene on board. These certificates can be renewed locally following ship inspections by port health officers.

Water sampling is carried out to ensure that the water supplied to the ships and boats from the quays and pontoons is safe to drink.

Ships sometimes arrive in ports carrying sick crew. For each port there is a plan for preventing the spread of infectious disease through working with local hospitals and Health Protection Agencies to safeguard public health.

Fishing vessels landing their catch at the ports can be inspected where processing is carried out on board and the cooked product can be sampled for microbiological testing.

Wisbech Port Health Authority also covers an area of sea in the Wash where cockles and mussels grow. Although on occasions there is no known commercial harvesting of these molluscs, routine sampling is carried out and information is displayed to any casual gatherers of these shellfish at times when algal contamination makes them unsafe to eat.

Nene Ports tide tables 2017All times are LMT (Local Mean Time). They are adjusted for daylight saving. Tidal predictions for Wisbech Cut are based upon data supplied by the Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory, copyright reserved.

All times and depths are greatly affected by prevailing winds. Winds from N.W. to N.E. increase depths and may cause high water to occur earlier. Winds from S.E. through South to S.W. may cause tides to fail to reach prediction, and high water may occur later. Heavy Spring freshets may cause increased depths.

Whilst every care has been taken in the computation of these Tables, neither we nor the Institute guarantee the information contained therein, and accept no liability for errors of any description.

High Water Wisbech is approximately 0hr 30 mins after HWWisbech Cut although slack water Wisbech can be +1hr30mins.

The Wash - An Unspoilt Marine Wilderness

For the cruising sailor, the rivers and waterways of the Fens offer much by way of tranquil leisure time afloat. For the marginally more adventurous however – and for those making passages to and from remoter destinations – the Wash is a delight awaiting sailors with an eye for something different.

Historically, the Wash has suffered from an unjust reputation as a wild and dangerous place best avoided by yachtsmen. Although short, steep seas can result after prolonged spells of north easterly winds, the Wash is more straightforward that the Thames estuary being 200 square miles of embayment with plenty of uninterrupted, deep water to enjoy.

Clearly marked channels point the way to the rivers Witham, Welland, Nene and Great Ouse. A grand variety of destinations with much to recommend them. Wisbech in particular on the tidal Nene is a very easy prospect given its modern marina facilities.

All the rivers, (depending on size of vessel), offer an unrivalled gateway to the inland waterway network in the same way as many a port in nearby Continental Europe. Wisbech Yacht Harbour can arrange mast unstepping and storage.

The Wash is also an important haven for wildlife and amongst its designations it is a European Marine Site and Special Area of Conservation. It is home to the country’s largest population of common seals and with approximately 160,000 wading birds and 51,000 wildfowl attracted to the extensive mudflats and sandbanks, a “twitcher’s” paradise.

Sport fishing too is of increasing interest to many with bass, mackerel, smooth hound, Thornback Ray and Tub Gurnard amongst the species regularly caught. Organised sea fishing trips can be joined from Wisbech Yacht Harbour.

As many other parts of the UK become overcrowded – and expensive for small boats, the Wash is fast becoming a place where the slower pace and traditional values are being rediscovered.

Page 31: Nene Ports Tide Tables 2017

The Wash and North Norfolk Coast were made a Special Area of Conservation and a European Marine Site under UK and European law in 1996.

Help to protect this unique environment and safeguard the wildlife by following the Good Practice Guide.

Information for skippers ofsmall craftNavigational Safety

The River Nene is a fast flowing river with tidal rates up to 6 knots on big spring tides. Neap tides however, rarely exceed 2 knots and the tidal range drops from 6 metres to 3, presenting a much more benign experience.

While these conditions obviously demand respect, they are not difficult given proper planning and should not be a discouragement to visiting Wisbech. Many other parts of the UK and continental Europe are subject to similar conditions and do not prevent leisure boating activity.

Commercial vessels of up to 2,500 dwt visit Wisbech. Ships up to 5,000 dwt can stop at Port Sutton Bridge (PSB), although the larger vessels can only enter on spring tides. About 40 ships sail up to Wisbech and 300 to PSB annually.

Commercial vessels will mostly have a length far in excess of the river width and are therefore restricted to the deepest water both in the river and in the outer channel. Small boat users are required to strictly observe Rule 9 of the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, taking particular account of:

Rule 9(b): A vessel of less than 20 metres in length or a sailing vessel shall not impede the passage of a vessel which can safely navigate only within a narrow channel or fairway.Rule 9(d): A vessel shall not cross a narrow channel or fairway if such crossing impedes the passage of a vessel which can safely navigate only within such channel of fairway.

Page 33: Nene Ports Tide Tables 2017

Extreme care should be taken when approaching either port area between HW-2.5 hours / + 1 hour. This is when commercial traffic will be operating. This is especially so in the vicinity of the swinging basins (Wisbech and PSB) around the HW period. Listen on VHF Channel 09.

Be alert for sound signals, especially Five Short Blasts - “I am unclear of your intentions”.

Commercial and working vessels (tugs, pilot boats, etc) will slow down if they consider their wash to be excessive but they have to be aware of your presence and, at night or in poor visibility, lights and sound signals can be lost in the background of a river environment. Again, contact should be made via Channel 09 VHF giving your position, course and intentions and requestingconfirmation of your message.

Please maintain a listening watch on Channel 09 at all times as planned movements of commercial vessels can change very quickly due to reasons outside the control of the Harbour Authority and these may reflect on the orders given to your own vessel.

It must be emphasized that prior notice of your ETA and ETD, passage plan and vessel particulars will assist in removing most of the problems likely to be encountered, and will greatly add to the pleasure of your visit.
