The GLAs’ strategy is to provide an appropriate mix of Aids to Navigation (AtoNs) for general navigation in our waters. This mix includes a range of physical aids, such as Lighthouses, Buoys and Beacons and electronic navigation such DGPS, AIS and eLoran.
NLB attaches great importance to consulting with our user groups and other stakeholders in the formulation of policy, to ensure that Aids to Navigation in our waters meet the requirements of the present and changing needs of all mariners, and that we comply with internationally accepted standards. NLB undertakes a review of its Aid to Navigation provision on a regular basis, and consults widely with users during this review process.
Feedback from users is essential if we are to continue to provide this vital service. Please report any defects or damage to any of our aids to navigation to 08000 32 66 55.
