Spokesperson for The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Ernie Malik, said everything was in place to get under way at Cleveland later this week.

"You'll have to excuse the pun, but we're sailing along smooth seas at the moment, and everything is going to plan," he said.

"If the weather is really bad at any point during filming in Cleveland, we have a covered set at another location that we can film at, but otherwise we'll just leave it to the director to work with whatever weather conditions come our way."

Plans have not yet been finalised for traffic control to Cleveland Point, with high volumes only expected on the weekends. Anyone visiting the area is advised to be patient and, if possible, walk or take public transport to the point.

Location managers will be assessing the situation to decide if a shuttle bus from the Volunteer Marine Rescue (VMR) site is needed.
