Recreational users should therefore, in compliance with Rule 9 of the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, keep as far to the starboard side of the river which lies on their starboard side as is safe and practical. They are also reminded of the obligation within Rule 9 placed on vessels of less than 20m in length, sailing vessels or fishing vessels not to impede the passage of vessels which can safely navigate only within a narrow channel or fairway.

Listening watch on the appropriate London VTS sector VHF channel - VHF Ch 68 or Ch 69 (as appropriate) is advised.
