Cable Inspections in Argyll to 1st July 2026

Socotec Land & Hydrographic Surveys (on behalf of SHEPD) will be undertaking subsea inspections at Appin Narrows, Easdale Sound, Sound of Iona, Sound of Ulva and at Bridgend, Islay.  Inspections will be ongoing until 1st July 2026. The inspection works will be centred on a 50m cable corridor.

The vessel conducting the works will be restricted in its ability to manoeuvre and will display the appropriate lights and shapes. Other vessels are requested to pass at a safe speed and provide a minimum clearance of 500m (COLREGs Rule 16 & 18) during marine operations. The vessel will monitor VHF Channel 16 throughout survey operations.
