Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order alters the area of jurisdiction of Tees and Hartlepool Port Authority Limited by adding, for limited purposes only, a corridor (of about half a mile in width) extending in a north–easterly direction from the mouth of the River Tees to the limit of the United Kingdom’s territorial sea. Part of the Ekofisk oil pipeline lies within this corridor, and the Order has the effect of empowering the Authority and its harbour master to give directions to vessels for the purpose of promoting or securing conditions conducive to the safety of the pipeline.
