MOBILE EXCLUSION ZONE – CABLE LAYING OPERATIONS
Cable laying operations for the France to Jersey electricity cable are scheduled to commence at 0001 on 23 July 2016 for a period of approximately five weeks.
The intended route of the cable is listed at Annex A and is shown diagrammatically at Annex B.
Mariners are reminded that a permanent prohibition is in place for anchoring, fishing, trawling or laying of pots along this route and this remains in force under the Harbours (Protection of Cables in Territorial Waters) (Jersey) Regulations 2010
Cable laying will take place from DP cable laying vessel STEMAT SPIRIT attended by the support vessels LYDIA D, NOVA K and VDC LYNX. The vessel will exhibit lights and shapes as appropriate to indicate it is restricted in its ability to manoeuvre and watch will be maintained on VHF Channel 16. The vessel’s call-sign is PBSO.
Under Regulation 1(2)(a) of the Harbours (Jersey) Regulations 1962 an additional temporary exclusion zone is established in the immediate vicinity of the cable laying operation. No vessel is to pass less than 1,000 metres ahead or to the side of the vessel and support vessels or 500 metres astern without clearance from the cable layer.
A vessel will clear obstructions ahead of the cable laying vessel; anything recovered will be landed for disposal.
This Notice to Mariners is issued on the authority of a Direction of the Minister for Economic Development, Tourism, Sport and Culture.
It is an offence to contravene the exclusion zones, which may result in a prosecution and subsequent imprisonment and a fine.
This notice will be cancelled when cable laying operations have been completed.
