Posted by Larry | Posted on 02-24-2012

This welcome dredging is occurring in a perennial “AICW Problem Stretch” between Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina and Snows Cut.

NC – AIWW – NEW RIVER TO CAPE FEAR RIVER – CAROLINA BEACH INLET – DREDGING
The Dredge WILKO will be dredging in the AIWW at Carolina Beach Inlet from 23 February until 15 March, 2012. A floating rubber and submerged pipeline will traverse Carolina Beach Inlet to the south of the inlet and will be marked with buoys. The dredge and assisting vessels PROUD MARY and MISS CINDY will monitor VHF-fm Channels 13 and 16. Mariners are cautioned to stay clear of dredge, booster, floating (pontoon) and submerged pipelines, barges, derricks and operating wires associated with dredging and marine construction operations. Operators of vessels of all types should be aware that dredges and floating pipelines are held in place by cables, attached to anchors some distance away from the
equipment. Buoys are attached to the anchors so that the anchors may be moved as the dredge advances and the location of the submerged pipelines are marked by buoys on each side of the channel. Mariners are cautioned to strictly comply with the Inland Rules of the Road when approaching, passing and leaving the area of operations, and remain a safe distance away from the dredge, booster, buoys, cables, pipeline, barges, derricks, wires and related equipment. Owners and lessees of fishnets, crabpots and other structures that may be in the vicinity and that may hinder the free navigation of attending vessels and equipment must be remove these from the area where tugs, tenderboats and other
