For the safenavigationduring the work period,the 3rd RegionalCoastGuard Headquartersask the
cooperationof all vessisby observingthe maritime traffic safetylaws and regulationsand
recomendationfor safenavigation,aswell as giving attentionto items below.
l. Generalmattersthat requireattention
( 1)Keepin mind of the project work area,workperiod, and light-buoysthat indicatethe work
area,asspecifiedby project notificationposters(Itis prohibitedfor vesselsto passthrough
the work area.)
(Z)Be extra carefulin maneuveringvesselsin watersin theproject'svicinity.
(3)Give specialattentiontothe work reatedvesselsgoing in annd out of the work area.

Navigation in the Western Area
of Nakanose in Tokyo Bay
December22,1998

Third RegionalMaritimeSafetyHeadquarters
Attaching great importance to the oil spill incident involving the VLCC Diamond
Grace which occurred in Tokyo Bay on 2 July 1997,JMSA will install three new light
buoys in the western area of NAKANOSE in Tokyo Bay to improve the safety of
navigation. As a result, the present navigational instructions which are in force
since 1 September1997will be revised as follows.

The new light buoys are scheduled to be installed on 27 or 28 February 1999.
Vessels sailing through the area after this date are requested to follow the revised
navigationalinstructions.

RevisedInstructions
