Britannia’s Gold Ltd is currently undertaking subsea exploration activities off the North West coast.

Marine survey and salvage works commenced this past Monday 28 March and are expected to continue until Thursday 14 April, subject to weather conditions.

Works by vessel-mounted equipment and ROVs are being conducted from the MV Olympic Challenger (callsign LAZQ7) which is listening on standard VHF throughout the project.

The vessel will be severely restricted in its ability to manoeuvre and as such a wide berth is requested. All vessels transiting and working in the area are requested to keep a minimum of one nautical mile CPA at all times.

Details of the relevant coordinates and contact information can be found in Marine Notice No 17 of 2022 attached below.
