Description
The Wave Glider C34167NS travels between 47 58.876N 050 15.390W and 47 17.673N 051 10.768W.
The copper-colored underwater glider measures 3.05 meters by 0.81 meters. Its mast, 1.5 meters above the water's surface, supports a fixed white light and an orange visibility flag. Remotely controlled and equipped with a non-transmitting AIS receiver, it travels at a speed of approximately 1 knot.

No longer in forceAn autonomous Wave Glider (C34167NS) is operating between two positions on the Northern Grand Banks. The copper-coloured underwater glider is 3.05 m by 0.81 m with a 1.5 m mast carrying a fixed white light and an orange visibility flag. It is remotely controlled, non-transmitting (AIS receiver only) and typically travels at about 1 knot. Mariners are advised to exercise caution.
Exercise caution: keep a good lookout and give the glider a wide berth to avoid collision.
