Regulated Navigation Areas, Safety Zones, Security Zones; Deepwater Ports in Boston Captain of the Port Zone, MA

الملخص

The Coast Guard proposes to establish new regulated navigation areas (RNAs) and safety and security zones for deepwater liquefied natural gas (LNG) ports in the Boston Captain of the Port (COTP) Zone, off the coast of Gloucester, Massachusetts. The proposed RNAs and safety and security zones are in waters around the Neptune Deepwater Port Facility (Neptune). They would protect vessels and mariners from the potential safety hazards associated with deepwater port operations, and protect liquefied natural gas carriers (LNGCs) and deepwater port infrastructure from security threats or other subversive acts, by prohibiting certain operations and imposing conditions on others.
