Garrison Point Traffic Warning Light no longer working

Peel Ports advise that the Traffic Warning Light on top of the Garrison Point Fort is no longer operative. It was a bright white light that flashed every seven seconds by day and night to warn of large (>130 metres LOA) vessels underway in the buoyed channel as follows:

  • When such a vessel was inward bound between the Medway Buoy and Darnett Ness the light shone in an upriver direction.
  • When such a vessel was outward bound between Darnett Ness and the Medway Buoy the light shone in a seaward direction.
