New chartlets, aerial photos & videos for entry into the Rivers Ore and Deben have been published this month on the EC Pilot website and YouTube.
“They are drawn from a Trinity House survey carried out in March 2026. As usual, Imray specifically produced the chartlets solely for ‘East Coast Pilot’ with the approval of Trinity House. Indeed Trinity House do us all a favour by specially surveying the Deben and Ore entrances each year.”
Download both chartlets from the EC Pilots website and read the full navigation details. As usual, there’s also an aerial photo of both entrances.
River Deben: Although the shape of the shingle banks on the northern side of the entrance has changed considerably, the overall buoy configuration is similar to last year.
River Ore: The Orford Haven and Weir buoy positions are unchanged, while the Oxley is positioned slightly further SW than last year.
