Exposed Cable Sections – SHEFA – 2 Segment 9

The Shefa-2 Segment, running between Manse bay, Orkney and Banff, Scotland has suffered from 3 cable breaks in 2013 all caused by fishing activity. We urgently have to stress that further areas/sections of the SHEFA – 2 Segments 7,8,9 are unburied and therefore exposed. Exposed Cable Sections – SHEFA – 2 Segment 7,8 & 9 Please be advised that there are sections of the SHEFA-2 cable that have been surface laid or remain unburied. These areas represent a hazard to fishing and should be avoided at all times. SHEFA have commissioned an updated Kingfisher Awareness Chart to highlight these areas, which can be downloaded using the link below. For a copy of the Kingfisher Awareness Flyer, showing the exposed sections of SHEFA, please contact the undersigned. Alternatively, click on the link below, or visit www.kingfishercharts.org

Hazardous Condition of Cable – Ulysses South Landing – St Margaret’s Bay

Further to earlier Notices, the Ulysses South submarine cable landing at St Margaret's Bay, near Dover, remains broken at a position: 51°08.70'N 01° 24.06'E

This position lies approximately 1.3km offshore in a water depth of 15 metres. As a result of this fault, the cable at the approaches to St Margaret's Bay has been dragged an indeterminate distance to the north of its as laid route on either side of the fault position. Caution should therefore be exercised in this area until the cable repair operation has been carried out.

Survey Operations – Celtic Interconnector Project

On behalf of Intertek please be advised of marine survey operations that are scheduled to commence on or around 9 August 2014 in the offshore waters of the Southwest Approaches and Celtic Sea. Survey vessel Ernest Shackleton has been assigned to carry out initial geophysical surveys along a proposed cable route for the planned Celtic Interconnector power cable between France and Ireland. The survey will take place along the proposed route between the 30 metre water depth contours off France and Ireland. Survey operations are expected to commence in French waters and will proceed in a northerly direction along the proposed route towards Ireland. These survey operations will link into the near shore waters survey of two landfall locations, one off Ballinwilling Strand and one at Ballycroneen Beach near Ballycotton, County Cork. Fishermen are advised not to leave any static fishing equipment within a distance of 250 metres of the proposed survey routes and are respectfully asked to withdraw and keep beyond a distance of at least 1 nautical mile from the survey vessel that will be operating with towed equipment up to 600 metres behind the vessel and will have restricted manoeuvrability. Survey vessel will be working offshore of 30 metre depth contours and will be operating on a 24-hour basis. The vessel will display appropriate day shapes and lights during survey operations and will maintain a listening watch on VHF CH16 and actively transmit an AIS signal (vessel mobile: 0044 1223 2221731). These offshore survey operations are due to be completed in Irish waters on or around 5 September 2014.

For proposed coordinates of the route, please contact the undersigned.

Fishing Hazard – Exposed Subsea Cable, Beam Trawl and Wire

Please be advised that, following entanglement with a subsea cable, a beam trawl and scallop gear have been discarded at the position below. The fishing gear is entangled with the subsea cable and poses a significant hazard to fishing (L: 10m x H: 2m). There is also over 80m of exposed cable in the vicinity, due to the trawl dragging the cable from its original position. Please exercise extreme caution whilst fishing in this area.

Hibernia Express – Cable Route Survey (Bristol Channel, South of Ireland, Deep Water)

Please be advised that TE SubCom, on behalf of Hibernia Express, is scheduled to carry out a cable route survey involving multibeam echo-sounder bathymetry, side-scan sonar, magnetometer, sub-bottom profiling and seabed sampling from Brean, Somerset, through the Bristol Channel and westwards towards Ireland and then into deep sea. The survey will start on 1 July 2014 and will last for approximately 25 days, weather permitting. The work will be carried out by the vessel “RV Ridley Thomas” (Callsign: V7JK2). Inshore at Brean, shallow water survey operations will be carried out by RV Wessex Explorer, (Call sign: 2WWE). The vessels will be towing survey equipment up to 200m astern and will be restricted in their ability to manoeuvre whilst carrying out the survey. All project vessels will be listening on VHF Channel 16 throughout the project. All vessels, particularly those engaged in fishing, are requested to give the “RV Ridley Thomas”, and its towed equipment, a wide berth. RV Ridley Thomas and Wessex Explorer will issue Sécurité messages throughout the operational period. Survey route information for the two segments may be seen below:

Western HVDC Link Power Cable – HDD Landfall, Ardneil & Southannan Sands

Mariners are advised that the proposed installation schedule for the Western HVDC landfall at Ardneil has been slightly adjusted from our original announcement. The large plastic pipes that will house the cables as they make landfall are now expected to arrive on site on 23rd July 2014, and installation of the first pipe is now expected to take place in mid-late August. The second pipe is due to be installed in mid-September. Arrival and storage of pipes The tug Thor Goliath is due to arrive on the 23rd July 2014 towing two long plastic pipes from Norway. These pipes are 620m long and 0.45m in diameter. They will be handed over to a local vessel and anchored south of Hunterston Jetty on the NW edge of Southannan Sands. The NE and SW extremities of the pipes are:-

North East Point: 55°44.967’N 004°52.633’W South West Point: 55°44.617’N 004°53.317’W

The pipes are painted front end and tail and every 50m in between with a 0.5m wide yellow “ribbon” of radar reflecting yellow paint. Installation of Pipes One pipe will be taken to Ardneil Bay for installation in mid-late August while the second pipe will be installed mid September. The pipes will be towed from Hunterston to Ardneil Bay using a local vessel Challenger of Leith and the Jetstar. Prior to the transfer of the pipes from Hunterston a work barge, the LM Constructor will be mobilised to Ardrossan then anchored in Ardneil Bay. The LM Constructor’s tow tug is the Voe Chief. Each pipe will be positioned alongside the LM Constructor prior to being installed into pre-drilled boreholes from Ardneil Bay to an onshore position landwards of West Kilbride Golf Course. The LM Constructor will demobilise to Ardrossan between the two pipe installation times and during periods of bad weather. The pipes will be monitored by a local vessel Challenger of Leith. Vessel details:

• Thor Goliath: Tug: Call Sign: OZ2034 • Challenger of Leith: Tug: Call Sign: 2AAD3 • Jetstar: Tug: Call Sign: MKFU5 • LM Constructor: Work Barge: Call Sign: MHUJ2 • Voe Chief: Tug: Sign: 2CRL5

Vessels will be monitoring VHF Channel 12 throughout the operation. The vessels involved in this work will be restricted in their ability to manoeuvre and other vessels are reminded to navigate with caution in their vicinity and pay strict attention to instructions issued to them by Hunterston Port.
