NOTICE: Ørsted conducting work in Narragansett Bay starting August 31
Starting August 31, 2024, SHELIA BORDELON will commence pre-lay grapnel runs and boulder relocation from 5nm SW of Sakonnet Point to south of Beavertail, RI. PLGR will continue into Narragansett Bay West Passage to the Jamestown Bridge after September 3rd.
Starting September 3rd –30th, JFB 4123 BARGE and TUGS KODIAK and BUCKY will commence boulder clearing north of the Jamestown bridge towards Quonset, passing east of Fox Island. The Barge will be “walked” into position with four anchors, marked by buoys, extending up to 3000ft from the barge. Fishing vessels should be aware of anchors and cables.
Following this activity, the barge will return to conduct PLGR runs north of the bridge, with the tugs for propulsion. Lastly, in the second half of September, the barge will place tapered concrete mattresses over existing cables in Narragansett Bay to protect them from subsequent cable installation. Mariners should transit with extreme caution in this area, and avoid towing gear over the anchor cables.
Please contact scout/safety vessels Mr. Marco or JoAnn V or representatives below with questions or concerns.
