PIPELINES

Mariners are advised not to anchor or trawl in the vicinity of pipelines. Gas
from a damaged oil or gas pipeline could cause an explosion, loss of a vessel's
buoyancy or other serious hazard. Pipelines are not always buried and may
effectively reduce the charted depth by up to 2 metres. They may also span
seabed undulations and cause fishing gear to become irrecoverably snagged,
putting a vessel in severe danger. See Annual Notice to Mariners Number 24.
