This layer shows the SAF_01a area for ports, harbours and marinas applying at the date of the publication of the Marine planning technical statement: safeguarding policy for ports and shipping. The SAF_01a area is based on the boundaries for Statutory Harbour Authority (SHA) jurisdictions in Wales. Anchorage and pilot boarding areas within SHA boundaries are included in the SAF_01a area. Shipping activity outside of SHA boundaries, including anchorage and pilot boarding areas, is safeguarded through Policy SAF_01b. The Harbour Areas, Anchorage, and Pilot Boarding Areas layers, from which this layer was derived, can be viewed on the Wales Marine Planning Portal under the Sectors category, then Ports and Shipping subcategory. The SAF_01a policy also applies to ports, harbours and marinas outside of SHA boundaries. As the boundaries of ports outside SHAs are not known, these are not reflected on the map of the SAF_01a area, and proposals will need to liaise directly with individual ports regarding precise boundaries.The location and ownership of ports can be viewed on the Ports in Wales layer on the Wales Marine Planning Portal, which can be found under the Sectors category, then Ports and Shipping subcategory.
