3 2 WELCOME TO THE PORT OF LOS ANGELES! Now entering its second century, the Port of Los Angeles is A m e r i c a s Po r t, Southern Califo rn i a s premier gateway to international commerce. Located in San Pedro Bay, just 20 miles south of downtown Los Angeles, the Port of Los Angeles sustains its competitive edge with efficient cargo operations and access to Southern California s vast goods movement system. The Port is also an acknowledged leader in groundbreaking environmental initiatives, progressive security measures, and diverse recreational and educational facilities. With an exceptional credit record, the Port maintains an Aa2 bond rating, the highest assigned to any seaport in the United States operating without the benefit of taxpayer support. The Port also wields tremendous economic impact, generating employment for more than 3.3 million Americans nationwide. In California alone, nearly one million jobs are related to trade through the Port of Los Angeles. The Port of Los Angeles encompasses 7500 acres and 43 miles of waterfront, and features 25 cargo terminals, including dry and liquid bulk, container, breakbulk, automobile and omni fa c i l i t i e s. Combined, these terminals handle more than 182 million metric revenue tons of cargo annually, valued at approximately $230 billion. Last year, the Port moved more than 8.5 million TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units, standard maritime measurement for containers), establishing an impressive national container record for the seventh consecutive year. The San Pedro Bay Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach together handle more than 40% of the cargo entering the U.S. The Port is also home to the nation s most secure cruise passenger complex, the World Cruise Center in San Pedro. Handling in excess of one million passengers annually, the Port is the leading cruise port on the West Coast of the United States. The LA Waterfront connects the Cruise Center to downtown San Pe d r o s international restaura n t s, galleries and shops via a promenade, which offers Port visitors a leisurely, landscaped stroll along a five-block stretch of Harbor Boulevard. Visitors may also enjoy a ride along the Waterfront Red Car Line s 1.5-mile route. The commu n i t y s conceptual plan for development along the Wilmington side of the waterfront is also moving forward. This project includes 75 acres of land along the Avalon Boulevard

4 Corridor, between Harry Bridges Boulevard and C Street, and focuses on open space and waterfront accessibility. O t h e r Wilmington waterfront development effo rts include the Po r t s development of Avalon Triangle Park and enhanced waterfront access surrounding Banning s Landing Community Center. In 2006, the Port released the landmark San Pedro Bay Ports Clean Air Action Plan, which provides a comprehensive strategy fo r a g gr e s s i vely curbing port-related emissions by 45% by Developed in partnership with the Port of Long Beach, the Clean Air Action Plan looks at all port-related emission sources and focuses on performance-based standards for equipment pursuing clean diesel, LNG and other technologies. The revolutionary plan received the support of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the California Air Resources Board and the South Coast Air Quality Management Board. Complementing its busy terminal operations with green alternatives, the Port of Los Angeles remains committed to managing resources and conducting Po rt developments and operations in both an environmentally and fiscally responsible manner. The Port s stature carries with it responsibility for leadership in achieving enhancements in securi t y, environmental stewa r d s h i p, operational efficiency, community outreach and job creations. All are high priorities for the Port of Los Angeles. The Port of Los Angeles A Cleaner Port. A Brighter Future. Please visit our website at 3

5 LOS ANGELES PILOT SERVICE The Los Angeles Pilot Service dates back to 1907, when the Port of Los Angeles was founded. Today, the Pilot Service employs 34 dedicated professionals, combining the skills of pilots, dispatchers and boat crew to provide expert pilotage services to Port of Los Angeles customers. The mission of the Los Angeles Pilot Service is to provide safe, reliable and efficient pilotage and marine services. Over the last decade, the Los Angeles Pilots have safely completed more than 55,000 vessel movements. They are among the best-trained pilots in the maritime industry. After a rigorous two-year training program, each pilot attends manned-model shiphandling courses in Grenoble, France, once every four years. Each pilot also attends ship simulator training every two years.

12 ENVIRONMENTAL NOTICE TO SHIPS EXCESSIVE SMOKE/BOILER TUBE BLOWING If boiler tube blowing results in soot being deposited in such quantities as to create a nuisance, Section of the California Health and Safety Code will be enforced. Section provides that no person shall discharge from any source whatsoever such quantities of air contaminants or other material which cause injury, detriment, nuisance, or annoyance to any considerable number of persons or to the public, or which endanger the comfort, repose, health or safety of any such persons or the public, or which cause, or have a natural tendency to cause, injury or damage to business or property. Furthermore, as provided in Section of the California Health and Safety Code, it shall be unlawful for any person from any source whatsoever to discharge into the atmosphere any contaminant, other than uncombined water vapor, for a period or periods aggregating more than three minutes in any one hour which is as dark or darker in shade as that designated as No. 2 on the Ringelmann Chart, as published by the United States Bureau of Mines. VESSEL SPEED REDUCTION PROGRAM Leading an industry-wide, first of its kind voluntary program, the Port of Los Angeles asks that every vessel within 20 miles of the Port reduce its speed to 12 knots. This reduction eliminates tons of smog fo rming emissions each day, upholding the Po rt s commitment to cleaner harbor air. Port of Los Angeles customers have observed this voluntary speed limit since Vessel speeds are monitored by the Marine Exchange of Southern California. For more information, call (310)

13 POLLUTION REGULATIONS Los Angeles Harbor is one of the cleanest in the world due to extensive efforts to combat water pollution. Anti-pollution regulations at the Port of Los Angeles are strictly enforced. It is unlawful to discharge oil into the water in any quantity sufficient to cause a sheen. All discharges of oil must be reported immediately to the National Response Center (NRC) at (800) If unable to reach NRC, you can contact the local Coast Guard unit at (562) or on VHF/FM Channel 16. Also notify the California Office of Emergency Services at (800) BALLAST WATER The unintentional introduction of non-native organisms can create serious ecological problems and cause economic harm. California state law requires open ocean exchange of ballast water for ships that will be discharging ballast water into California waters after operating outside the EEZ (Exclusive Economic Zone) unless safety considerations do not permit such exchange. Ballast water reporting forms must be filed for a ship making its first call at a California port after operating outside the EEZ. Reports are due to the California State Lands Commission after ballasting operations are completed and before the ship leaves port. The California State Board of Equalization, Environmental Fees Division, collects a $200 fee for each qualifying voya g e. Contact the Califo rnia State Lands Commission at (562) for further information on state requirements. In addition, a ballast water reporting form must be filed with the U. S. Coast Guard at the first U. S. p o rt of call. Other fe d e ra l requirements may apply. Contact the U. S. Coast Guard at (310) for more information. 12

14 VESSEL OPERATING PROCEDURES The LA/LB Harbor Safety Plan (HSP) contains opera t i n g procedures for vessels. An electronic copy of the HSP can be seen on the Marine Exchange website at All of the procedures are considered Good Marine Practice, but some are regulations (either local, state or federal) while others are nonregulatory "Standards of Care." These Vessel Operating Procedures have been extracted from the main text of the HSP in order to create a helpful "Quick Reference Guide" containing the most important information necessary for safe, reliable and environmentally sound vessel movements in and around the port area. These Vessel Operating Procedures list only the basics. Additional and more detailed information can be found in HSP chapters addressing each topic. Port tariffs also contain requirements for vessels operating in and around the port. Familiarization and compliance with the Harbor Safety Plan and the port tariff(s) are a must! Nothing in these procedures precludes a master and/or pilot from taking necessary and prudent actions to avoid or mitigate unsafe conditions. Important General Information Pilot Requirements: Local port tariffs require vessels of greater than 300 gross tons to use a federally-licensed pilot whenever navigating inside the Federal Breakwater. In most circumstances, vessels employ the services of a federally-licensed local pilot from the Los Angeles Pilot Service (for the Port of Los Angeles) or Jacobsen Pilot Service (for the Port of Long Beach). In instances where a local pilot is not used, Masters must have a local federal pilot license and receive approval from the Coast Guard Captain of the Port (COTP) prior to entering or departing port. Vessels are required (outbound vessels:15 minutes prior to getting underway; inbound vessels:15 minutes prior to entering the Federal Breakwater) to establish communications and coordinate movements with the appropriate local pilot organization and Vessel Traffic Service (VTS). Equipment Failures Vessels are required by law to report navigational equipment, propulsion, steering or other vital system failures as soon as possible to the Coast Guard via the COTP office or the Captain of the Port representative at VTS on Channel

15 The COTP will require appropriate "equivalent levels of safety" provided by such things as: 1. Directing vessels to outside anchorage pending verification of repairs. 2. Proceed into port at safest slow speed with suitable tug escort/assist. 3. Second licensed navigation officer on the bridge for radar plotting, etc. 4. Sea trials performed to the satisfaction of the Master, pilot and COTP. VESSEL TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Vessel traffic in the ports of and approaches to Los Angeles and Long Beach is managed by three entities: 1. Vessel Traffic Service for the port approaches (25 nautical miles from Point Fermin to the Federal Breakwater). 2. Los Angeles Pilot Service for the Port of Los Angeles. 3. Jacobsen Pilot Service for the Port of Long Beach. Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) A VTS is in operation on the approaches to Los Angeles and Long Beach harbors. Operated jointly by the U.S. Coast Guard and the Marine Exchange, the VTS provides information about commercial, other vessel traffic and navigation safety. Covered vessels are required to participate in the VTS. The following are considered "Covered Mandatory Full Participant" vessels: 1. Every power-driven vessel of 40 meters (131 feet) or more in length, while navigating. 2. Commercial vessels 8 meters (26 feet) or more in length that are towing alongside, astern or by pushing ahead. 3. Every vessel certificated to carry 50 or more passengers for hire, while engaged in trade, under sail or power. The following are considered "Mandatory Passive Participants": Every power-driven vessel 20 meters (65 feet) or more in length, eve ry vessel 100 gross tons or more carrying one or more passengers for hire and every dredge or floating plant are required to monitor Channel 14 VHF/FM when operating in the VTS area. 14

16 Notes of Interest 1. The outer limit of the VTS AOR is defined by a 25-nm arc from Point Fe rmin (LAT 'N, 'W). 2. A minimum vessel separation of 1/4 nm is required in the P r e c a u t i o n a ry Area. 3. Code of Fe d e ral Regulations, CFR 33, Pa rt 165, Subsection , identifies portions of the Precautionary Area as a Regulated Navigation Area. Arriving Vessels Upon Entering the 25-Mile Outer Limit Call "San Pedro Traffic" on VHF/FM Channel 14 and provide the fo l l owing info rm a t i o n : 1. Vessel name/call sign 2. Position, course and speed 3. Vessel destination 4. State whether or not taking a pilot 5. Estimated time of arri val to the breakwa t e r / a n c h o ra g e 6. Tank vessels report their displacement Contact Los Angeles Pilots on Channel 73 or Long Beach Pilots on Channel 12 to arrange pilot serv i c e. Limit speed to 12 knots or less upon entry to the Precautionary Area. Upon Entering the Precautionary Area Call "San Pedro Traffic" and provide the fo l l owing info rm a t i o n : 1. C o n f i rm vessel speed is 12 knots or less. 2. C o n f i rm master is on the bri d g e. 3. C o n f i rm vessel is in hand steeri n g. 4. C o n f i rmmain propulsion has been successfully tested ahead and astern. 5. Maintain a minimum vessel separation of 1/4 nm. 15

17 Departing Vessels from Inside the Breakwater 15 minutes prior to getting underway, contact Los Angeles Pilots on Channel 73 or Long Beach Pilots on Channel 12 (depending on which harbor the vessel is in) to check into the traffic system. P r ovide ve s s e l n a m e, type, departure point, destination and intended route. 15 minutes prior to the breakwater entra n c e, call "San Pedro Tra f f i c " on VHF/FM Channel 14. B r e a k water entrances include Los Angeles Gate (LA), Long Beach Gate (LB) and Anaheim Bay (Naval We a p o n s S u p p o rt Fa c i l i t y, Seal Beach). P r ovide the fo l l ow i n g : 1. Vessel name/call sign 2. Destination 3. A ck n owledge VTS traffic report 4. R e p o rt departure from Precautionary Area to V T S 5. If outbound, ETA to 25 nm from Point Fe rm i n 6. R e p o rt departure from VTS at 25 nm limit Maintain speed at 12 knots or less through Precautionary Area. Sea Approaches CAUTION The Master s attention is directed to NOAA Chart nos & or BA 1063 & 1082 regarding regulations fo r: 1. Passage of Los Angeles and Long Beach sea bu oy s 2. Transit of Los Angeles and Long Beach pilot boarding areas 3. A n c h o rage G, outside the Breakwa t e r VESSEL SPEED LIMITS These speed restrictions do not preclude the master or pilot from adjusting speeds to avoid or mitigate unsafe conditions. We a t h e r, ve s s e l - m a n e u ve ring chara c t e ri s t i c s, traffic density, constru c t i o n / dredging and other possible items should also be taken into account.

Standards of Care for Vessel Movements During Reduced Visibility Reduced visibility requires that all mariners apply ex t ra vigilant a t t e n t i o n. This section is intended to provide clear guidance to m a riners as to what is expected of them when navigating in reduced visibility in the area covered by the HSP. Nothing in this section shall be construed to require the Master of a vessel to commence a t ransit in reduced visibility, nor does this section replace compliance with COLREGS. It is recognized, howeve r, that under cert a i n c i r c u m s t a n c e s, vessels may safely transit in reduced visibility prov i d e d that equivalent safety levels are employe d. This section defines reduced visibility, provides guidance for use in determining whether or not to commence a vessel transit and outlines minimum equiva l e n t l evels of safety to be used when transiting in reduced visibility. 17

19 Definitions of Reduced Visibility a. Tankers greater than 150,000 DWT: 1 nautical mile b. Tankers greater than 60,000 DWT:.75 nautical mile c. All other vessels 45 draft or more:.75 nautical mile d. All other tankers and petroleum barges:.5 nautical mile e. All other vessels: 3 times vessels LOA General Guidelines a. A vessel should not initiate an inbound transit if the area in the vicinity of the destined berth is ex p e riencing reduced visibility. b. A vessel should not initiate an outbound transit if the area in the vicinity of the berth is experiencing reduced visibility. c. An intra / inter harbor shift is considered to combine two parts, as in 3a and 3b above. d. Whenever visibility inside the federal breakwater is less than.5 mile, the respective Vessel Traffic Center (VTC) will impose one-way traffic where appropriate. e. When reduced visibility is encountered after commencing a transit, all precautions should be taken to minimize the risk of collision. These precautions include but are not limited to a n c h o ring, reducing speed, enlisting shore-based ra d a r support and securing a tug escort. 18 Application of Equivalent Safety Levels Whenever a vessel Master intends to commence a vessel transit in reduced visibility, at a minimum, the following equivalent safety levels should be adhered to: a. Vessels 1600 GT or greater, operating inside the federal breakwater are under the control of a USCG licensed pilot with the appropriate endorsement for the vessel and area of operation. b. Vessels 1600 GT or greater has a shore based ra d a r immediately available to assist the vessel. c. A positive evaluation shall be made by the Master and pilot (if employed) of the maneuvering characteristics of the vessel, the quality of the vessel s radar and navigation systems, the availability of carry-on enhanced navigational tools such as

20 the ARINC Pilot Mate and Marimetech E-Sea Fix System, the vessel s size and draft in relation to the area to be transited, quality of the vessel s bridge team and special circumstances to be encountered (e.g. dredging projects, obstructions). COTP Notification of Intention to Move in Restricted Visibility Vessels 1600 GT or greater, that intend to commence a vessel transit in reduced visibility without complying with item 4 in this section, shall make the following broadcast to the VTS on VHF Channel 14 at least 15 minutes prior to getting underway: Vessel name/call sign, making our reduced visibility COT P notification that we intend to transit from vessel location to intended destination as per guidance within the Harbor Safety Plan. A safety broadcast will be made on Channel 13 and we will coordinate our movement with the appropriate Vessel Traffic Center. Applicability The standards of care contained in this section apply to all vessels covered under the Los Angeles Long Beach Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) User Manual. TUG ESCORT/ASSISTANCE FOR TANK VESSELS Overview " Tug Escort" refers to the stationing of tugs in proximity of a vessel as it transits into port to provide immediate assistance should a steeri n g or propulsion failure deve l o p. " Tug Assist" refers to the positioning of tugs alongside a vessel and applying force to assist in making turn s, reducing speed, providing propulsion and dock i n g. Additional assist tugs may be required inside the breakwa t e r. A r rangements should be made via the vessel agent, tug company and appropriate pilot s e rv i c e. Outbound laden tank vessels are not required to use tugs once they have safely cleared the breakwa t e r. All tank vessels shifting within the harbor(s) (including dock to a n ch o r, a n chor to anchor and dock to dock) shall comply with the escort requirements. A r rangements should be made via the vessel agent, tug company or appropriate pilot service to ensure compliance. 19

21 Tug Escort Applicability All laden tank vessels (tankers or barges carrying as cargo a total volume of oil greater than or equal to 5,000 long tons of oil) entering the port should ensure proper implementation of the Displacement To n / Tug Braking Force Ta ble listed on page 18. I n a dd i t i o n, to meet the requirements of the Force Selection Matrix, tractor tugs shall be tethered, inbound and outbound. C o nventional tugs may be tethered or untethered inbound, bu t shall be tethered outbound.i n b o u n d, laden oil and chemical tank vessels shall not proceed closer than two nautical miles from the Federal Breakwater entrance unless the prescribed escort tug(s) are in position at the southern boundary of the pilot operating a r e a s. Masters shall also ensure that anchors are ready for letting go p rior to entering the pilot operating areas. The tank vessel Master/pilot shall hold a "pre-escort conference" that should at a minimum include: 1. Contacting the escort tug operator to confirm the number and position of the escort tug(s) 2. E s t a blishing the radio frequency to be used 3. E s t a blishing the destination of the tank ve s s e l 4. Discussing any other pertinent info rmation that the master/pilot and escort tug operator deem necessary These standards reflect favo ra ble circumstances and conditions. A d verse we a t h e r, unusual port / t raffic congestion or other conditions/circumstances may require additional tugboat assistance. 20

24 UNDERKEEL CLEARANCE Minimum clearances (between the deepest point on the vessel and the bottom in still water conditions) are established for these ports and depend upon transit/anchor location. On November 27, 1996, new Coast Guard underkeel clearance regulations for tank vessels without double hulls became effective (33 CFR ). Though some provisions were delayed pending further comment, most of the regulations are in effect. The new regulations require, in part, that the Master calculate the tankship's deepest navigational draft and the controlling depth of the intended transit and to discuss these issues with the pilot prior to any transit. Consideration of the following is required: 1. The tankship's mean draft 2. The tankship's trim and list characteristics 3. The intended transit speed and corresponding squat characteristics 4. The tide and current conditions 5. Present sea state conditions 6. Past weather impact on water depth 7. The depth at the facility or anchorage 8. The depth of the transit area GENERAL ANCHORING GUIDELINES OUTSIDE THE FEDERAL BREAKWATER 1. All anchorages outside the Federal Breakwater will be managed and monitored by the Vessel Traffic Service (VTS). 2. Any vessel desiring to use one of these anchorages must advise its intentions to VTS on VHF/FM Channel 14 and receive clearance to do so from VTS. 3. VTS will not assign an anchorage to tankers or ve s s e l s exceeding 200 meters length overall (LOA) in the first row of anchorage sites closest to the breakwater (G-1 to G-3 and F-1 to F-4). 4. VTS will not provide shoreside radar direction during anchoring. However, ranges and bearings from either the Angels Gate Light or Queens Gate Light to the center of a particular anchorage site will be offered, if requested. 5. Tug assistance outside the Federal Breakwater is not required for anchoring. 23

25 Port of Los Angeles 1. Between the Los Angeles Sea Buoy and Los Angeles Main Channel Buoy #11, minimum underkeel clearance is 10% of vessel's draft. 2. In the channel between Los Angeles Main Channel Buoy #11 and position off of designated berth, minimum underke e l clearance is 1.5 feet (.46 meters). 3. Final approach to berth, and while at berth, vessel to remain always afloat. 4. Anchorages inside breakwater, minimum underkeel clearance is 1.5 feet (.46 meters). Port of Long Beach 1. Between the Long Beach Sea Buoy and Long Beach Channel Buoy #3, minimum underkeel clearance is 10% of vessel's draft (before roll and pitch correction). 2. In the channel between Long Beach Channel Buoy #3 and position off of designated berth, minimum underkeel clearance is: a. Vessels 120,000 DWT and under: 1.5 feet (.46 meters). b. Vessels over 120,000 DWT: 3 feet (.91 meters). 3. Final approach to berth, and while at berth, vessel to remain always afloat. 4. Anchorages inside breakwater, minimum underkeel clearance is: a. All anchorages, except as noted below: 1.5 feet (.46 meters). b. Anchorages B-7 and B-11 when vessel's draft is 50 feet (15.24 meters) or more: 4 feet (1.22 meters).

26 CAPTAIN OF THE PORT OF LOS ANGELES - LONG BEACH PUBLIC NOTICE NO LOS ANGELES CHANNEL DEEPENING PROJECT The purpose of the COTP Public Notice is to: Increase awareness by all harbor waterway users of the potential for increased risk of vessel collisions, or groundings associated with dredging operations in the Los Angeles Main Channel. E m p h a s i ze the importance of timely and accura t e communication between the dredge, vessel traffic managers and other waterway users in order to minimize that risk. Ensure vessel masters and pilots have the information needed to perform safe transits and avoid surprises. Establish uniform procedures for vessel operators, dredging contractors, vessel traffic managers and other involved parties to facilitate the safe movement of vessels operating in the vicinity of the Los Angeles Channel Deepening Project. The Captain of the Port LA-LB in conjunction with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, LA Deepening Constructors Joint Venture, Port of Los Angeles, Los Angeles Pilot Service, Jacobsen Pilot Service, and other representatives of the maritime industry, have developed uniform procedures to facilitate safe movement of vessels during this dredging project, anticipated to last two years. This project involves dredging in Los Angeles main, east and west channels. The disposal of dredge spoils will be at Southwest Slip, Cabrillo Shallow Water Habitat Expansion, Pier 300 expansion, and Pier 400 submerged material storage site. See map on page 25. This dredging and derrick barge activity will be 7 days a week, 24 hours per day, and has the potential to increase the risk of a navigation mishap. This notice summarizes procedures to be followed by LA Deepening Constructors Joint Venture, dredge and vessel operators and shoreside vessel traffic managers for the duration of the dredging project. Nothing contained herein shall preclude the master, operator, or person in charge of a vessel to exercise good seamanship in deviating from these rules when it is necessary to avoid risk of collision, grounding or other vessel mishaps. 25

28 APPLICABILITY These procedures apply to dredge opera t o r s, vessel tra f f i c managers and all VTS active users covered vessels, i.e., power driven vessels of 40 meters (approximately 131 feet) or more in length, towing vessels 8 meters (approximately 26 feet) or more in length, engaged in towing. VESSEL TRAFFIC PROCEDURES A. PASSING ARRANGEMENTS WITH ALL DREDGES AND DERRICK BARGES: Mariners must contact the dredge or d e r ri ck barge operators to make appropriate passing arrangements at least 15 minutes prior to passing, using communication procedures listed on page 28. This advance notice is critical, as the dredge or derrick barge must take the necessary measures to allow for safe passage of vessels. B. VESSEL TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (VTMS): It is critical that all covered vessels report into the appropriate traffic system 15 minutes prior to entering the system or 15 minutes before getting underway. The Vessel Traffic Service (VTS), Los Angeles Pilots, and Jacobsen Pilot Service (Long Beach) will provide information about vessel traffic within their respective areas and help ensure mariners are informed of any waterway restrictions resulting from the dredge s location or operations. Formal procedures for vessels to participate in the VTS are published in the VTS user s manual available at Covered vessels not complying with vessel traffic management procedures should be immediately referred to the Coast Guard LA-LB for appropriate enforcement action. NAVIGATIONAL PROCEDURES The following are the procedures that were agreed upon by interested parties during a special navigational meeting held on September 4, All parties/mariners need to pay close attention to the Los Angeles Main Channel Deepening Project " D a i ly Navigational Faxes" to verify location of dredges, derrick barges and pipeline so that agreed upon procedures are implemented at the appropriate times during these dredging elements. To be included on the fax distribution list, contact the Channel Deepening construction office at (310)

29 Due to the restrictive nature of this dredging operation: One-way traffic should be utilized, slowest safe speeds should be exercised in the vicinity of work, strict adherence to limited visibility guidelines, and when in doubt or when visibility and/or wind conditions are questionable, transits should postponed until conditions improve for safe navigation. A. Vessels: COMMUNICATION PROCEDURES Dredge Florida Dredge H.R. Morris D/B Los Angeles D/B Long Beach D/B CP-28 M/V Elmer M M/V Durango All vessels will monitor VHF/FM Channels 16,13 and working on 79A and 67. B.

30 COORDINATION PROCEDURES Dredging and other construction activities will continue in Los Angeles Harbor for the the duration of the project. S p e c i f i c restrictions and procedures may vary from time to time depending on the location and nature of the activity. Therefore, the following procedures will be used to exchange information with all concerned parties. A. SECURITE CALLS: The dredge or derrick barge operator will issue a securite call on Channel 13 prior to the initial or subsequent commencement of dredge operations and immediately before retracting gear in preparation to transit to disposal site. D u ring periods of less than one-half mile visibility, the frequency of the securite calls will be increased to every hour. B. FA S T FA X : The Captain of the Po rt will utilize fa xes to c o m municate wa t e r way management or additional safe t y information to vessel operators, vessel traffic managers, and pilots. Normally, this system will be used for communicating o n e - way traffic or other operational procedures and restrictions, which require COTP LA-LB authorization. C. NOTICE TO MARINERS: The Coast Guard will continue to use local Notice to Mariners and broadcast notice to mariners to provide pertinent information to mariners. D. SUBMERGED/FLOATING PIPELINE: The use of submerged and floating pipeline will be used throughout the project duration. E. AIDS TO NAVIGATION/ANCHOR MARKERS. Due to the nature of the dredging operations, there may be times where aids to navigation will have to be tempora rily remove d. Mariners are advised and encouraged to review Notice to Mariners for the latest information. Mariners are also advised and encouraged to verify aids to navigation by contacting Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) or the local pilots. F. MEETINGS: Navigational Safety meetings will provide an appropriate forum for addressing navigational safety issues. These meetings will be held at 1300 hours, at the Contractor s office every third Thursday of each month. Contact the Coast Guard at (310) for further information and to obtain a meeting schedule. 29

39 BOATING SAFETY INFORMATION The Department of Boating and Waterways offers a home study boating course. The course, which includes a colorful handbook, can be completed at one s own pace. Upon successful completion of the optional final examination, the student will receive a state certificate in the mail. For more information, contact the Department of Boating and Waterways, 1629 S Street, Sacramento, CA In addition, boaters can call California Boating Information at (800) 869-SAIL for information on U.S. Power Squadron and U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary boating safety classes offered throughout California. For general safety information, contact the Los Angeles Port Police, (310) CONTROLLED NAVIGATION AREAS Controlled Navigation Areas (CNAs) have been added to Tariff No. 4, restricting entry into certain areas of the Port by recreational boats without a Port Police-issued permit. Creation of the CNAs will help to ensure navigational safety for large commercial vessels by reducing non-essential boating tra f f i c, while also increasing waterside security by limiting access to commercial or permitted vessels. The Main Channel and other primary waterways will remain open to recreational boaters, but those areas best kept for commercial-only vessels will be restricted. (See map on pages ) CNAs will be identified with posted signs and enforced by the Los Angeles Port Police. Recreational vessel owners/operators may request to enter a CNA by contacting the Port Police at (310) The Controlled Navigation Areas are part of the Port of Los Angeles Responsible Marina Program. 38

40 SMALL (RECREATIONAL) VESSEL SAFETY Recreational vessels should follow the Standards of Care (listed below) to ensure the safe operation of their craft while in and around the port. Recreational vessel operators should be sensitive to the fact that large commercial vessels are severely limited in their ability to stop or alter course, and many times are limited in their ability to see small vessels due to blind spots that extend more than 1/2 mile ahead. These large commercial vessels cannot easily avoid a collision with a smaller, more maneuverable recreational vessel. 1. Ensure vessel is safe before getting underway. 2. Ensure vessel is seaworthy. 3. Keep flares and distress calling equipment readily accessible. 4. Be extra careful in fog. 5. Comply with Rules of the Road, Rule 9: Small vessels remain clear of large vessels that must navigate within a narrow channel. 6. Avoid passing larger vessels close aboard. 7. Pass tugs with caution. 8. Know the locations of traffic lanes and the regulated navigational area. 9. Know how and when to monitor VHF Channels 16, 14, and Know vessel s position. 11. Be an informed mariner: - Know the Rules of the Road. - Read Coast Guard Notices to Mariners. - Monitor the weather. - Listen to Channel 16 for Coast Guard information broadcasts. 39
