Reading this warning

Cable operations
A ship is laying, burying or repairing a submarine cable, usually along a stated route.
Until further notice
The operation or danger has no scheduled end; the warning stays in force until a later message cancels it.
Track line joining
Introduces a route through a series of positions — a cable route, a tow's track or a survey line.
Position (degrees and minutes)
How warnings write positions: degrees, a hyphen, then minutes, with N/S and E/W — 49-40.8N 003-43.8W.
Wide berth requested
Keep well clear — or, when a distance is given ("TWO MILE BERTH REQUESTED"), at least that far away.
Cancellation reference
A line that cancels an earlier warning by its number, such as CANCEL HYDROLANT 1085/12.
HYDROLANT
The U.S. long-range warning series for Atlantic waters outside NAVAREA IV, including the eastern Atlantic, the Mediterranean and adjoining seas.
