Mariners are advised that the sector light aid to navigation at Lochboisdale Ferry Terminal, South Uist has now been temporarily relocated to a position on the shore to the north of the pier to establish an optimal position for mariners approaching and leaving the terminal.

The light is in the following position:

57° 9 .195 N    007° 18.165 W

The middle (white light) bearing is 294°T and has been programmed for day and night operation until completion of a 6-week trial period.  

Following trials further discussion and agreement with stakeholders with regard to a final position will be established and sanctioned.

Until a further NTM is issued confirming this position mariners are advised NOT to use this sector light as an aid to navigation while transiting Loch Boisdale in the vicinity of the ferry terminal.
