The UK Navtex transmitters were until at least relatively recently still 
maintained by British Telecomm. However, Portpatrick for one has had new 
transmitters installed so I'm not sure who is looking after what these 
days. The best option is to contact one of the local Ofcom offices. I'm 
not sure which one covers the North East but they have offices at 
Haydock and Glasgow plus others. They're not likely to be too bothered 
about interference to amateur radio operations but if it's made clear 
that there is likely to interference to other marine services - e.g. 
Navtex on 490 kHz - or perhaps broadcasting, they'll no doubt spring 
into action.
