EXERCISE AREA WG Armed Forces equipment tests are frequently conducted in Exercise Area WG as defined in Notice to Mariners No. 35 of each year.

Equipment recovery vessels operate by day or night and exhibit a flashing red light in addition to the prescribed lights and shapes.  They should not be approached closer than 1400 metres due to outlying unlit buoys. 

Unlighted buoys as well as lighted buoys are randomly located within the area.  These buoys are not charted.  Ships are advised to avoid Exercise Area WG particularly during hours of darkness or reduced visibility.

Additional information affecting area WG may be obtained from Victoria Radio Station VAK by radio-telephone.
