SUBMARINE CABLES

Mariners are advised not to anchor or trawl in the vicinity of submarine cables, and risk prosecution if cables are damaged. Indiscriminate anchoring has caused damage to cables in Singapore Strait. Repaired sections may lie 250 metres from the charted cable track. Submarine cables have been omitted from parts of this chart where larger scale coverage exists. Mariners are advised not to anchor or trawl within 1750m of submarine cables in Indonesian waters.
