What it does

The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for navigable waters of the Gulf of America. The safety zone is needed to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment from potential hazards associated with the M/T KALAHARI that will be conducting repairs at anchorage due to both auxiliary boilers being out of service rendering the inert gas system inoperable. Entry of vessels or persons into this zone is prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port, Sector Mobile, or their designated representative.
