Simplified Wreck Survey

Underwater obstruction located at 53 20.801 N, 6 7.247 W in the Irish Sea near the approaches to Dublin Port. This maritime hazard was originally identified as a container following a 1994 survey by the Dublin Port & Docks Board. While initially charted as an obstruction, a 2011 survey by the RV Keary determined the site was not located, and the wreck or obstacle is now considered cleared or dead. Mariners navigating the waters off the Irish coast should be aware of historical survey data for these coordinates.
