Port users reminded to keep clear of East Side works area

The Gibraltar Port Authority is reminding all port users that the East Side Project exclusion zone remains fully in force while reclamation works continue in the area.

The Authority says the exclusion zone is clearly marked by cardinal buoys and silt booms, although it warns that the booms may be difficult to spot in certain weather and light conditions.

All vessels and water users are required to remain outside the marked area at all times to ensure the safety of personnel, navigation and ongoing works.

There is also a five-knot speed limit within the harbour and within 150 metres of the shoreline.

The Authority warns that enforcement action will be taken against anyone found in breach of the restrictions.

Further details can be found in Local Notice to Mariners No. 4 of 2026. This can be found on their website.
