The Marine Police would like to advise all mariners to keep clear of the Tall Ships when they are navigating in the shipping channel, particularly when they are berthing and unberthing at the docks on Thursday, June 11 and on Monday, June 15. These ships have a deep draft and are slow to maneuver; therefore we are asking all boaters to give them adequate clearance.
