Condensed Information on Responsibilities and Activities BEAM 2000-2001 Published. Each GLA has reviewed the AtoN in its own area of responsibility and joint consultations have been conducted over areas of common or overlapping interest, such as the North Channel.
Users are to be consulted wherever and whenever possible and appropriate.
Several of the proposed changes contained in the Review have been incorporated as a direct result of user response already obtained to date on specific areas of interest. Some of the user response already obtained has resulted in the implementation of certain changes. The Review addresses the current and future requirements of national and international shipping and those of Mariners in general. Whilst each GLA has carried out its own review of its own AtoN, there are areas where the boundaries of two, or even all three, GLAs meet and where a concerted view has been necessary. The study has been carried out based solely on the minimum navigational requirements and does not at this stage take into account any other considerations.
