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.
