Location

Port Solent is situated in the Northeast corner of Portsmouth Harbour, vessels bound for the marina should follow the defined channel.On the eastern side of the harbour is Fountain Lake (continental ferry port) and the mud flats in the centre are bounded by two channels. The one to the NW leads to Fareham, while the other channel, to the NE, called Portchester Lake, leads to Port Solent.The entrance to Portchester Lake is marked to the west by pile 57 and to the east by pile 95. The whole channel is marked by red piles to west, numbered 57 to 74 (leave to port) and by green piles to the east running from 95 to 75. Nineteen of the piles are lit by navigational lights and the characteristics of these lights are designed to avoid confusion between succeeding piles.
