Safety Zone Regulations; Guayanilla Bay, Guayanilla, Puerto Rico

Résumé

The Coast Guard is proposing moving and fixed safety zones around Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Carriers with product aboard in the waters of the Caribbean Sea and Guayanilla Bay, Puerto Rico. Due to its size and draft, the LNG vessel will require use of the center of the channel for safe navigation. The highly volatile nature of the cargo requires traffic to maintain a safe distance while moving or moored. These regulations are necessary for the protection of life and property on the navigable waters of the United States.
