For better navigation in Bahrani waters
The Middle East Navigation Aids Service (Menas) has signed an agreement with the Bahrain Ports and Maritime Affairs (PMA) to remove and replace three abandoned light beacons in the Northwest of Bahrain and to survey all Aids to Navigation (AtoNs) in Bahraini waters.
The survey, which should take up to eight months, will cover all main channels as well as the approaches to Bahrain – its islands, reefs, all inner channels, private jetties and fisheries harbours, containing in total more than 400 AtoNs (light beacons and buoys) covering a water area of nearly 7,000 sqkm with a coastline of 161 km.
