Mariners off the South-East Coast of Ireland are advised of subsea cable survey operations currently under way, subject to weather conditions.
The survey was scheduled to begin this past Thursday 26 November and continue for at least eight days and up to two weeks.
It follows a route south-west from the 2m contour at Ballyteige Bay before veering south to the 12-nautical-mile limit.
The DNV-classed wind farm service and survey support vessel Fastnet Pelican (Callsign 2FNX7) is conducting this survey using a multibeam echo sounder and sub bottom profiler as well as a towed array with a sidescan sonar and magnetometer.
The vessel will have active AIS and will display all relevant lights and shapes.
Due to restricted manoeuvrability, other vessels are asked to maintain a distance of at least one nautical mile from the Fastnet Pelican.
Full details of this survey, including all relevant coordinates, are included in Marine Notice No 54 of 2020, a PDF of which can be downloaded below.
