Local aids to navigation
The Merchant Shipping Act 1995 empowers the General Lighthouse Authorities to inspect all lighthouses, buoys and beacons under Local Lighthouse Authority Management
To fulfill this statutory duty, Trinity House works with local ports and harbours to inspect and audit over 11,000 local aids to navigation annually.
