List of effective Marine Department Notices updated
The Marine Department has issued Marine Department Notice (MDN) No. 1 of 2001 to list out all the notices that are still in force as at December 31, 2000.
MDNs are issued from time to time to disseminate information to the shipping sector and related industries on various subjects, a Marine Department spokesman said today (February 2).

"As some MDNs are effective only within a specific time frame, an updated list will be issued once every six months to remind readers of those MDNs which are still in force," he said.

Of the effective notices in the updated list, six are related to navigation warnings, 36 are related to establishment, withdrawal and changes of port facilities, 40 are related to marine works, 23 are related to statutory requirements, 16 are related to port operations procedures, 27 are related to navigational and seamanship safety practices, while 15 are miscellaneous information.

Free copies of MDN No.1 of 2001 are available from Central Marine Office on the third floor, Harbour Building, 38 Pier Road, Central. It can also be downloaded from the Marine Department homepage on the Internet at http://www.info.gov.hk/mardep/index.htm
