Berths and moorings in outlying harbours

Jersey’s outlying harbours are home to a large number of local craft. The majority of boat owners are members of their local boat owner associations, and work closely with Jersey Marinas to help manage and maintain the moorings in the harbours.

Elizabeth Marina entrance lights

The entry and departure lights at Elizabeth Marina operate on an alternating one-way basis when the gate is open. This is due to the fact that visibility is restricted by the dog-legged rock armour wall on the approach which affords protection to craft from swells and storms.

The alternating light sequence rotates in 10 minute periods (3 IALA fixed red lights or 3 IALA fixed green lights). During the last 2 minutes of this period, the IALA lights flash to indicate the end of the sequence. This is to allow vessels that are committed to proceed safely before the lights change. This is followed by a 2 minute period where 3 fixed IALA red lights are displayed both inside and out.

As with all IALA lights, if you see 3 red lights then you must not proceed and keep the fairway clear. At the very most, you will have to wait up to 12 minutes until the light sequence alternates back to 3 IALA green lights, so please be patient.

All leisure craft are advised to keep a listening watch on VHF channel 14 when manoeuvring within the port of St Helier and its marinas.

Details of the IALA lights at Elizabeth Marina are shown below:

	STOP	Do not enter or leave the marina
	ONE WAY	Vessels may proceed into or out of the marina

Please note a 5 knot speed limit is in place at St Helier Harbour and its approaches. It is imperative that all craft adhere to this speed limit at all times. This is monitored by St Helier VTS.
