I. Translate into Russian the following extracts from Pilot Book. Write 10 special questions to the extracts.

Pilotageis compulsory for all merchant vessels. Pilots board in the anchorage or within 2 miles of the entrance.

In SW winds vessels should stand on to embark the pilot as the sea rapidly subside as the entrance is approached.

Regulations concerning entry. When the pilot boat flies a white over red flag by day or exhibits a white over a red light by night it indicates that a ship is about to enter or leave harbour and all boats should keep clear. A ship may signal one long blast followed by two short blasts, with the whistle or siren, to give warning of her approach. On hearing the signal all boats should keep clear of the fairway, in particular the narrows at the harbour entrance.

Channel Navigation Information Service.

The Channel Navigation Information Service (CNIS) provides a radio safety service by scheduled broadcasts or, on request, to individual vessels on passage through the Dover Strait. The area covered by the service extends from the Greenwich Light-float to the latitude of Noord Hinder Light-buoy (52°00'N, 2°51'E) and vessels within the area should listen to the appropriate VHF broadcasts. Radar surveillance is provided by stations at Saint Mergaret's Bay ( 51'09'N, 1'24'E) and Cap Gris-Nez ( 50'52'N, 1'35'E) and covers some 110 miles of the Dover Strait, with Cap Gris- Nez a few miles NE of the centre point of the area . The limits of the area surveyed by radar are shown on the chart.

Broadcasts are made by Dover Strait Coastguard and Cap Gris-Nez (CROSSMA) and comprise navigational and traffic information of immediate interest together with the movements of vessels which appear to be acting in contravention of the rules governing the scheme. The latter may be identified by aircraft, helicopters or surface vessels and subsequently reported to Flag States.

Dover Coastguard also provide assistance to establish the position of vessels through a combination of radar, DF and VHF, but caution must be exercised due to the inherent uncertainty in establishing the identity of any particular radar echo.

Radio navigational warnings.

Tidal streams are strong between the piers and can reach 6 kn. The in-going stream continues until about 1 ½ hours after HW at springs and 30 minutes after HW at neaps. The out-going stream continues until 4 hours before HW.

After heavy rain the out-going stream is increased and the in-going stream correspondingly reduced and in extreme conditions the out-going stream may run continuously. In these conditions the tidal height may be maintained or exceeded.
