ATON / Advanced Notice of Change
ATON/Advanced Notice of Change Location: 31-02.56N 081-15.38W Aid Name: Brunswick Spoil Area Lighted Buoy C LLNR: 518 Action: RENAME Brunswick Spoil Area Lighted Buoy C (LLNR 518) will be changed to Brunswick Spoil Area Lighted Buoy D (LLNR 518). The name change is to alleviate confusion when the Brunswick Pilots instruct commercial vessels to rendezvous with the pilot boat at the “Sea Buoy” (St Simons Sound Lighted Buoy STS). The similarity in names between the two aids has caused confusion amongst mariners. With the Brunswick Spoil Area Lighted Buoy C marking a shoal, this confusion could lead to a potential grounding.
