Dover Coastguard has been coordinating with the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team from Portsmouth and with the Dover Port Authority, to have the explosive taken to a remote area and detonated.

Tony Chester, Watch Manager, Dover Coastguard, says: “It is the intention of the EOD to detonate the ordnance in a controlled environment in daylight hours.The ordnance is 1metre in length with a 30cm diameter and its fins have rusted off.”

“The coastguard will be issuing safety broadcasts and warnings to vessels in the area,” concluded Chester.
