INFRASTRUCTURE was conducted at 105 lighthouses. More extensive structural measures were conducted in the case of four large lighthouses. As part of efforts to enhance safety at large lighthouses, alarm transmitters were installed to deal with contingencies arising from network outage, and this project will continue in 2007. The “Gudrun” storm during the winter wrecked the shoreline at Tärnudden on the island of Gotska Sandön. Two-thirds of the shore disappeared, along with the land base for the underwater cable supplying power to the island. Due to the exposed location, deep-hole drilling will be conducted in 2006 to protect the cable and its future functioning. Measures have been taken to control the quality of data from wind and water level gauging activities. Among other actions, the number of stations along Lake Mälaren was doubled and new stations were built in Karlshamn, Kalmarsund and Brofjorden. Detailed project engineering for canal locks and a reserve port along the Södertälje canal was conducted during the year. Work involved in the first stage of strengthening the dam at Lilla Edet commenced and is scheduled for completion in spring 2006. Project engineering for the second stage has commenced, and is planned to start up at mid-year 2006 and be completed during 2007. During the year, the Arkö Båk beacon was transferred to the association known as Arkö Båks Vänner (Friends of Arkö Båk). In addition, the Vattenholmen buoy storage facility in the municipality of Tanum was transferred to the National Swedish Property Board. The machinery building at Brämön, including external installations was decommissioned and will be transferred to the National Swedish Property Board. The Decca facility at Fårösund with the station building and master transmitter unit at Ar on the island of Gotland were 14 Not only did the “Gudrun” storm in January 2005 have catastrophic results for forest owners – it also wrecked the shoreline at Tärnudden on the Gotska Sandön island. Two-thirds of the shoreline was swept away and with it the marine cable supplying power to the island. A long-hole drilling project was conducted in 2006 to secure the cable and its function for the future. demolished and the land will be transferred to the Swedish EPA. During 2005, hydrographic surveys were conducted in the priority fairways and lanes for merchant shipping, and included three fairways to Halmstad and Karlskrona. In addition, hydrographic surveys were conducted in Bornholmsgattet in connection with the planned separation of traffic. Surveys were also conducted in the Åland Sea and the Flintrännan fairway in Öresund. A total of some 1,900 m 2 was surveyed during the year, which was less than planned. The underlying reason was that the survey vessel, Ale, was affected by the malfunctioning of its multi-beam echo-sounder. One malfunction was so serious that the equipment had to be replaced, which in turn meant that Ale could not conduct any surveying from October to the end of the year. During this period, personnel from Ale conducted surveys using smaller vessels.
Bar-sweeping assignments were conducted during the year along the Lake Mälaren fairways and Stora Vika. At the end of the year, barsweeping surveys for verification purposes were carried out following dredging in the Värmdö Garpen fairway. During 2005, external players reported 23 hydrographic projects of varying extent to the Swedish Maritime Administration, representing an increase of about 60%. To reduce the processing time for the compiled depth data, a new computation system was installed during the year onboard the hydrographic vessels and at the head office. ❮❮ The Pater Noster lighthouse, which is currently being renovated, will be return to its location in 2007. 15
