      FLORIDA – FLORIDA KEYS – KEY WEST: Key West Paddle Classic and Safety Zone

      1. The 2021 Key West Paddle Classic will be held on October 2, 2021 on the waters surrounding Key West, FL. This event will consist of approximately 200 paddler boarders completing a 12 mile clockwise course starting along the southern shoreline beginning at Higgs Beach, transiting through the main harbor and Fleming Key Cut, around Dredgers Key, through Cow Key Channel and returning to the finish line at Higgs Beach.
      2. A temporary moving safety zone has been established by the Captain of the Port (COTP) Key West, FL for this event. The safety zone encompasses all waters extending 100 yards to either side of the race participants and safety vessels; extending 50 yards in front of the lead safety vessel preceding the first race participants; and extending 50 yards behind the safety vessel trailing the last race participants. The safety zone will be enforced from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. on October 2, 2021.
      3. During the enforcement period, no person or vessel may enter, transit through, anchor, or remain within the safety zone without permission from the COTP or his designated representative.
      4. A succession of not less than 5 short whistle or horn blasts from a patrol vessel will be the signal for any non-event participating vessel to take immediate steps to avoid collision. Also, the display of a red distress flare from a patrol vessel will be a signal for any and all vessels, including event participants inside the regulated area, to stop immediately.
      5. Mariners are advised to abide by all Navigation Rules and proceed with caution in the vicinity of the course and event participants.
      6. For more information on this event please contact Sector Key West at (305)-292-8727

      MSIB: REMINDER: Post-Storm ATONs May Be Off-Station

      Following the winds and storm surge of Tropical Storm Elsa, some ICW ATONs, particularly temporary markers,  may be off-station. When in doubt, slow down, watch your depth finder and consult local knowledge if available.

      MSIB: Due to potential effects from Tropical Storm ELSA throughout coastal South Carolina, mariners are urged to transit with caution considering the possibility of Aids to Navigation discrepancies or other hazards to navigation. If discovered, please report any of these issues to the United States Coast Guard.

      USCG: Sector Charleston Prepares for Upcoming Hurricane Season

      See also Hurricane and Severe Weather Preparation.

       

      SECTOR CHARLESTON

      UPCOMING 2021 ATLANTIC HURRICANE SEASON

      The Atlantic Hurricane Season will begin June 1, 2021 and will run through November 30, 2021. During this timeframe, the assigned port condition (PORTCON) will remain PORTCON IV and the port status will remain OPEN for all ports and waterways within the Sector Charleston Captain of the Port Zone. These waters are identified in 33 CFR 3.35-15 and lie between the intersection of the North Carolina – South Carolina boarder and the northern bank of the Savannah River.

      In the event of forecasted tropical storm force winds (sustained winds of 34 kts/39 mph or greater) from a tropical cyclone, the Sector Charleston Captain of the Port (COTP) will coordinate with the Heavy Weather Advisory Group (HWAG) to evaluate port preparation and changes in port condition.

      The HWAG consists of maritime transportation system professionals local to the Sector Charleston Captain of the Port Zones, providing input on local operations and coordination for overall port well-being in response to severe weather events.

      The COTP will announce changes to port conditions via a Marine Safety Information Bulletin (MSIB) and a Broadcast Notice to Mariners when forecasted tropical storm force winds (sustained winds of 34 kts/39 mph or greater) from a tropical cyclone threaten South Carolina. These port conditions are as follows:

      Forecasted Hours Prior to Tropical Storm  Force WindsPort ConditionMeasures in Effect
      1 DEC – 31 MAYVGeneral. Port status is OPEN.
      1 JUN – 30 NOVIVHurricane seasonal alert. Industry to review heavy weather plans. Port status is OPEN.
      72WHISKEYThe COTP will assess lay-up and mooring plans, meet with stakeholders, and conduct port assessments. Port status is OPEN.
      48X-RAYThe COTP will finalize review of lay-up and mooring plans, hold further meetings with stakeholders, and continue port assessments. Port Status is OPEN.
      24YANKEEThe COTP may restrict vessel movements, including stopping inbound vessel traffic, and cargo operations. Port status is OPEN with RESTRICTIONS.
      12ZULUThe COTP may restrict all vessel movements, including stopping inbound and outbound vessel traffic, and cargo operations. Port status is CLOSED.
      AFTER

      STORM PASSAGE

      		OPEN or OPEN with RESTRICTIONSPrior to authorizing vessel movements and cargo operations, the COTP will conduct a risk analysis based on actual weather observed and port assessments, which may include verifications of aids to navigation, channel hazards, waterfront facility damage, and vessel accountability.

      Very Respectfully,

      LT Chad Ray

      USCG Sector Charleston

      Waterways Management Div., Chief

      All vessels, waterfront facilities, and marinas should review their heavy weather plans now. Please take into account that drawbridges may not open for vessel traffic when sustained wind speeds reach 25 mph or during land evacuations. Vessels or oceangoing barges greater than 500 gross tons that are unable to go to sea are required to submit heavy weather plans to the COTP. The request form can be obtained from Sector Charleston’s HOMEPORT internal site at https://homeport.uscg.mil/port-directory/charleston. All requests should be submitted to D07-PF-SECTORCHASN-WWM@uscg.mil. The COTP will carefully evaluate vessels requesting to remain in port. Submission alone of a Remain in Port Request does not grant approval from the COTP.

       

      Currently, and running to May 31, 2021, the threat of severe weather is decreased. PORTCON V with a port status of OPEN remains in effect. This, however, does not prevent the COTP from changing port conditions in the event of forecasted severe weather.

      For HWAG or waterway specific questions, please contact (843) 323-7761. For facility and foreign vessel specific questions, please contact (843) 740-3186. For domestic vessel specific questions, please contact (843) 754-2076. For Coast Guard related emergencies, please contact Sector Charleston Command Center at (843) 740-7050.

      LNM: Fifth District Maritime Safety Information Upgrade

      Mariners may visit the NAVCEN website and subscribe for email delivery of BNMs.

       

      NJ – PA – DE – MD – DC – VA – NC – US COAST GUARD 5TH DISTRICT BROADCAST NOTICE TO MARINERS

      The U.S. Coast Guard Navigation Center (NAVCEN) has completed its Maritime Safety Information (MSI) project upgrade to offer Broadcast Notice to Mariners (BNM) to mariners via email in addition to voice radio broadcasts. The online subscription service is in addition to the standard BNM broadcasts over VHF radio that previously, were the only way to receive this vital navigational information. Mariners can now use the subscription service to plan for underway periods and receive updates to Aids to Navigation and navigational hazards in near real time without having to wait on scheduled VHF broadcasts.
      Mariners may visit the NAVCEN website and subscribe for email delivery of BNMs. https://www.navcen.uscg.gov/?pageName=feeds. BNMs are organized by Coast Guard Sector and mariners can subscribe to one, or more Fifth District Sectors. It is also recommended that you subscribe to the “5th Coast Guard District (dpw)” BNMs and the “Atlantic Hazardous Weather Outlook”. Additionally, NAVCEN has developed an online, filterable, BNM archive that is available to the public. 5th District BNMs can be viewed and downloaded from this database on the NAVCEN website at: https://www.navcen.uscg.gov/bnmmessages/DistrictSearchV1.php?d=5&i=4html. For any questions regarding these services contact the NIS Watch at 703-313-5900. LNM 13/21
