Waterside Exclusion Zone to be implemented
Newcastle Port Corporation today announced a Waterside Exclusion Zone in the area surrounding the Pasha Bulker at Nobbys Beach, Newcastle.
CEO, Newcastle Port Corporation, Gary Webb, today advised that the Waterside Exclusion Zone would be in force from 6am tomorrow (Friday, 22 June 2007) until further notice.
The Waterside Exclusion Zone is being implemented to assist in the salvage operations of the Pasha Bulker, Mr Webb advised.
The exclusion zone extends 1000 metres south-east to sea from the Cowrie Hole at Newcastle and 870 metres south-east to sea from the end of the Southern Breakwater.
All vessels and persons, unless authorised, must remain outside the zone. The perimeter of the zone will be identified by flashing lights on buoys and will be patrolled by authorities, Mr Webb said.
This notice is made pursuant to the Harbour Masters powers under Section 94 of the Ports and Maritime Administration Act of 1995.
