A recent engineering investigation identified structural issues and safety concerns with both the East and West piers at Port Dalhousie. In light of the inspection findings, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans is taking action to protect the safety of the public by prohibiting vessel, vehicular, and pedestrian access to the piers.

Vessels can still safely navigate the waters surrounding the piers, but will be unable to moor at the piers. The City of St. Catharines will accommodate boaters as possible at other local wharves.

The International Maritime Organization (IMO), the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO), and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) inform the maritime community of the planned Inmarsat I-3 to I-4 satellite migration in 2018.

The services specific to the maritime sector include Inmarsat-C, Mini C, and Fleet77. These services have operated successfully over the I-4 satellites previously and therefore minimal service impact is anticipated. Inmarsat worked closely with Land Earth Station operators (LESOs), terminal manufacturers, administrations that provide Maritime Safety Information (MSI) and other stakeholders during the extensive preparation of the migration plan. Safety services will be restored first with the highest priority. The migration will have minimal impact on seafarers.

The migration will start in April 2018 and take approximately 9 months to complete. The approach of Inmarsat is to migrate these services satellite-by-satellite as illustrated below.

Stage 1: AORW to AMER, April 2018

Stage 2: POR to APAC, July 2018

Stage 3: AORE to I-3 F5, September 2018

Stage 4: IOR to Alphasat EMEA, October 2018

Inmarsat will be communicating with you throughout the migration planning and execution phases, providing additional details as and when they become available. Further information can be found at https://www.inmarsat.com/i3-i4-services-migration. If you have any immediate questions or concerns, please contact Inmarsat at: maritime.safety@inmarsat.com.
