Anchorage Grounds; Delaware River, Marcus Hook Range Channel, Marcus Hook Anchorage (Anchorage 7), Mantua Creek Anchorage (Anchorage 9), and Deepwater Point Anchorage (Anchorage 6). Safety Zone; Delaware River, Marcus Hook Range Channel

The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone around dredging operations in the Marcus Hook Range channel adjacent to anchorage 7. To facilitate the rerouting of ship traffic through the area, the Coast Guard is suspending a regulation that allows ships to anchor for up to 48 hours in the Marcus Hook Anchorage (Anchorage 7), Mantua Creek Anchorage (Anchorage 9 ), and Deepwater Point Anchorage (Anchorage 6), and instituting temporary regulations governing these anchorages. The safety zone is needed to protect vessels, the port community and the environment from the hazards associated with dredging operations in the Marcus Hook Range channel and to minimize temporary port congestion during dredging operations. Entry into this zone is prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port, Philadelphia, PA.
