Hazard: New Caledonia, Notice to Mariners 022-18

[JPA Cate]

This morning I received a translation of a New Caledonian Notice to Mariners, which reads as follows:

NtoM 022-18:

Mariners attention is drawn to the presence of shipping containers, partially or totally submerged, and other flotsam adrift in an area delimited by Durand Reef, Lifou, Thio, and the Isle of Pines.

I'm hoping to get the word out. The shippping containers and flotsam are from the Kea Trader, which is now breaking up, which had grounded last year on Durand Reef.

Sailors, take care.

Good info, took a bit of finding the right website though
