Area To Be Avoided Off the Washington Coast

The Coast Guard recently held a public meeting and requested written comments on whether the applicability of the Area To Be Avoided off the Washington Coast should be expanded to include vessels other than those carrying cargoes of oil or hazardous materials. The Area To Be Avoided, as adopted by the International Maritime Organization, recommends that all ships, including barges, carrying cargoes of oil or hazardous materials avoid the area. Based on the information received at the public hearing and in the written comments, the Coast Guard has determined that changes to the applicability of the Area To Be Avoided are not warranted at this time.
