Surveying of the Deben and Ore Entrances is now complete with the release of the Ore Entrance sketchmap imminent . As is always the intention, these surveys are intended to be conducted in early March when most of the winter gales have past and appropriately close to the time most people launch their boats for another season.
Our survey capability has improved with equipment first trialed in 2011 and enhanced with software and hardware which will effectively build the chart on the fly whilst surveying. A survey vessel has also been acquired for the purpose. This should translate into being able to produce sketchmaps more efficiently.
