Harbour Notices

Fowey Harbour Commissioners issue Harbour Master’s Notices and Local Notices to Mariners which detail events, incidents and other matters affecting harbour safety. General Directions (GDs) are legally enforceable instructions issued by the Harbour Commissioners to regulate the safe navigation, use, and management of the Harbour. They apply to all Harbour users and are made under the Fowey Harbour Revision Order 2020.

 

Please familiarise yourselves with these notices and the information they contain.

Please note whilst the most recent Notice is shown first, earlier Notices may still be in force.
