What It Means

Mariners and vessel owners are prohibited from entering the course area between points A, B, and C during the times stipulated on July 26, 2026. Owners of vessels moored in this zone must contact the RHIB vessel S25336 to receive escort instructions before attempting to enter or exit. All vessels in the vicinity must navigate with caution and at low speed, while obeying instructions provided on VHF channels 12 or 16 from Valletta VTS or enforcement personnel.

Different Views

The limitations imposed on navigation aim to ensure the physical safety of participating swimmers during the event. The use of a RHIB escort vessel is a mitigation mechanism to ensure compliance with maritime regulations in an area where conflict may occur between residential maritime traffic and sports participants.

—

Sporting events held in coastal and port areas in Malta are subject to monitoring by Transport Malta to prevent the risk of collisions between vessels and swimmers. This procedure is in line with standard practices for maritime traffic management during public events, where the Ports and Yachting Directorate exercises regulatory authority over territorial waters to prevent incidents.

Die Fakten

VALLETTA, MT — Die Hafen- und Yachtdirektion von Transport Malta hat die lokale Bekanntmachung fuer Seeleute Nr. 120 des Jahres 2026 herausgegeben, die Navigationsbeschraenkungen in der Salina-Bucht fuer den 26. Juli 2026 anordnet. Die Beschraenkungen sind fuer eine Schwimmveranstaltung erforderlich, die Teil eines von Triathlon Malta organisierten Triathlons ist. Der Schwimmkurs wird durch drei spezifische geografische Punkte definiert: Punkt A (35 Grad 56.932 Minuten Breite, 014 Grad 25.6 Minuten Laenge), Punkt B (35 Grad 57.112 Minuten Breite, 014 Grad 25.763 Minuten Laenge) und Punkt C (35 Grad 57.100 Minuten Breite, 014 Grad 25.783 Minuten Laenge).

Was das bedeutet

Seeleute und Bootsbesitzer duerfen am 26. Juli 2026 waehrend der festgelegten Zeiten nicht in den Kursbereich zwischen den Punkten A, B und C einfahren. Besitzer von Schiffen, die in dieser Zone festgemacht sind, muessen das RHIB-Boot S25336 kontaktieren, um Eskortanweisungen zu erhalten, bevor sie versuchen, ein- oder auszufahren. Alle Schiffe in der Naehe muessen mit Vorsicht und langsamer Geschwindigkeit navigieren und dabei die Anweisungen befolgen, die auf den VHF-Kanaelen 12 oder 16 von Valletta VTS oder dem Vollzugspersonal gegeben werden.

—

Verschiedene Ansichten

Die Beschraenkungen der Schifffahrt zielen darauf ab, die koerperliche Sicherheit der teilnehmenden Schwimmer waehrend der Veranstaltung zu gewaehrleisten. Der Einsatz eines RHIB-Eskortbootes ist ein Minderungsmechanismus, um die Einhaltung der maritimen Vorschriften in einem Gebiet sicherzustellen, in dem es zu Konflikten zwischen dem privaten Schiffsverkehr und den Sportteilnehmern kommen kann.

—

Das große Ganze

Sportveranstaltungen, die in maltesischen Kuesten- und Hafengebieten stattfinden, unterliegen der Ueberwachung durch Transport Malta, um das Risiko von Kollisionen zwischen Schiffen und Schwimmern zu verhindern. Dieses Verfahren steht im Einklang mit den Standardpraktiken fuer das Schifffahrtsmanagement bei oeffentlichen Veranstaltungen, bei denen die Hafen- und Yachtdirektion die Regulierungsbefugnis ueber die Hoheitsgewaesser ausuebt, um Zwischenfaelle zu vermeiden.
