Notice from the Maritime and Coastguard Agency

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency have reached out to let us know that they are planning to merge the legacy Liverpool Maritime Safety Information (MSI) broadcast schedule (Holyhead B) into a single Holyhead broadcast on 27 February 2025.
 
At present MRCC Holyhead provide 2 broadcasts for the same sea area. An internal review identified the opportunity to help improve and streamline the service provided by merging them into 1. This is a minor change and is not expected to have any significant impact on the end user; with initial announcements on Ch.16 continuing to direct seafarers to the appropriate channel. 
 
They have engaged the Irish Coastguard to ensure there is no mutual interference with their broadcasts, as well as presenting the proposal to local stakeholders in the area and the Local Resilience Forum. No comments were received.    
 
The change involves moving the Holyhead MSI broadcast times (Holyhead A)  from existing time slot of HH:50 to the legacy Liverpool time slot of HH:30. To reduce any potential interference with Snaefell radio site, Great Orme radio site will be changed from MSI Channel 64 to MSI Channel 62:
