more Detailed information
This site has an area of 23,000m2 (200mx125m)- The entire southern edge of the site is bordered by a large heavy lift quay with several mooring bollards.
- The sea area adjacent to the quay is dredged to a depth of 8m chart datum. The seabed then shoals to 5m moving offshore of the dredged area.
- The eastern edge of the site is flanked by a drying bank with a height of up to 4m at LAT.
- Throughout the site the seabed is mud, with a partly intertidal causeway of rubble and rock at the eastern edge of the site, accessed by a slipway.
- The metocean conditions at the site are consistently benign, with maximum tidal currents of <1 knot (0.5m/s) and very limited wave exposure.
