AREA TO BE AVOIDED

Mariners are warned to navigate with extreme care in the approaches to Bermuda
due to the extensive and dangerous fringing reefs. In order to reduce the risk of
stranding, an IMO-adopted Area To Be Avoided has been established covering the
northern coast of the islands and the offshore reefs. All vessels carrying cargoes
of oil or hazardous materials and all other vessels over 1,000 gt should avoid this
area. See Admiralty Sailing Directions for details of limits.
