SHANGHAI DISTRICT.
SOUTH CHANNEL ENTRANCE TO THE YANGTZE.
Warning to Outward-bound Vessels.
NOTICE is hereby given that the South Channel from Blockhouse Buoy to Kiutoan Light-vessel is nowhere less than 1 mile in width. The several Buoys and the Kiutoan Light-vessel, in this part of the South Channel, mark its Northern side, and outward-bound vessels should therefore give these Aids to Navigation a wide berth, in order to allow ample room for the passage of inward-bound vessels.
This Notice is issued in consequence of complaints that many outward-bound vessels pass close to these Buoys, and thereby are liable to seriously embarrass inward-bound vessels and cause risk of collision.
