Port/Incident Area Summary
</TD></TR><TR><TD></TD></TR><TR><TD>
Oil spill response operations are ongoing. Current goal remains to keep commercial traffic flowing in all ports in the Gulf of Mexico. There are no plans to restrict traffic coming from main shipping lanes into or out of the ports of New Orleans, Pascagoula, Gulfport, Mobile, Pensacola, or Panama City. Mariners are urged to remain clear of the response area bounded by specific coordinates conveyed via broadcast notice to mariners, NAVTEX and Port Coordination Team announcements. Cleaning stations are established in the New Orleans and Mobile AOR for both deep draft & shallow draft (brown water) vessels as described in Recovery Actions below.

MTS Impact
</TD></TR><TR><TD></TD></TR><TR><TD>
All port waterways are open with no restrictions. Vessel traffic is strongly encouraged to avoid the spill areas during voyages; vessels should make every effort to avoid coming in contact with oil, ensuring safe navigation. Vessels following these procedures will greatly reduce the possibility they will need their hull cleaned at a future date.
It is the intent of the Captain of the Port of New Orleans and the Captain of the Port of Mobile to facilitate marine traffic movement to the fullest extent possible throughout the oil spill response. To that end, the Coast Guard will examine all measures necessary to ensure commerce through the Mississippi River Gulf of Mexico and the Intracoastal Waterway continues with minimum restrictions.
All locks remain open with the exception that the Ostrica Lock is closed for repairs/maintenance. Bridges remain operational and east/west traffic is unrestricted.

12 vessels have self-assessed today as of 0704 CST. 482 Vessels have self-assessed to date. (03) Commercial deep-draft vessels required DECON.
Deep-draft is defined as greater than 12 ft. or approx. 3.9 meters. Stakeholder representatives are onboard and standing by/partnering to facilitate non deep-draft DECON prioritization issues with the MTSRU should this become necessary subsequent to an impact that would trigger non deep-draft DECON or delays.
A vessel traffic monitoring unit (VTM) is established, and is standing by to be fully implemented when required by DECON OPS or when vessels are held in a queue (delays). The trigger points for decontamination with Area will be 12-18 hour delays.
The communications plan for the VTM is complete; currently communications with DECON locations, their vessels/personnel for commercial vessel monitoring and deconflicition are being conducted by cell phone communications and VHF Radio from the MTSRU. CG OS personnel are using secure instant messaging to pass information. Shiptracks software is installed and used for near live monitoring of shipping.
The MTSRU is prepared to populate the Portal DECON tracking spreadsheet on DECON'd ships thru the Mobile AOR in the MTSRU with reporting requirements to the SIT Status Unit and the UAC. The Ship tracks software is providing real-time vessel status at the MTSRU with a feed to the SIT STATUS Board.

Sector New Orleans - There are no restrictions to vessel traffic on the Lower Mississippi River. Bar pilots report operations are normal and vessel traffic is entering/exiting the Lower Mississippi River. Bar pilots also report no vessels entering Southwest Pass have reported any sheening or presence of oil on any vessel. MSIB's related to incident posted on Homeport.
The Mississippi River is at 12.0 feet and on the fall in New Orleans.
The Army Corps of Engineers New Orleans District has issued Navigation Bulletin 10-62 for the Inner Harbor Navigation Canal (IHNC) Lock and IHNC/Lake Borgne Surge Barrier. Effective immediately all vessel operators working in support of the Deepwater Horizon Response must contact USCG Sector New Orleans, Waterways Management at D08-PF-SECNEWORLEANS-WATERWAYS@USCG.MIL to request priority lockings. In addition, priority passage for IHNC/Lake Borgne Surge Barrier for response vessels during scheduled closure hours (reference Navigation Bulletin MVN 10-38) may be requested through USCG Sector New Orleans at the email address listed above. These requests will be reviewed by the Coast Guard and forwarded to the IHNC Lock and/or the IHNC/Lake Borgne Surge Barrier upon approval.
The Rigolets has a series of barges partially obstructing the waterway in the vicinity of green light "3". These barges are part of the response effort and allow for 300-400 feet of navigable channel for vessel transit.
COTP New Orleans continues to have safety zones from South Pass in the vicinity of the mouth where booming is deployed or being deployed; Southeast Pass in the vicinity of the mouth where booming is deployed or being deployed; and Pass a Loutre, in the vicinity of the north fork where booming is deployed or being deployed. A 500 meter safety zone is established offshore around the riser of the Deepwater Horizon.
COTP New Orleans established a safety zone in Southwest Pass, from Mile Marker 10 BHP to Mile Marker 17.5 BHP (Light "18" to Light "6") in the vicinity of vessel cleaning operations (MSIB 91 07MAY10).
COTP New Orleans established a safety zone near the entrance to the Rigolets in the vicinity of the CSX Railroad Bridge (MSIB 96 07MAY10).
COTP New Orleans established a safety zone in the following two areas:
(1). The Port of Venice, (Venice Jump and Tiger Pass), from its intersection with the Mississippi River proceeding to point 1/2 nm south of Venice Marina on Tiger Pass. This includes all slips in the Venice Port Complex.
(2). Baptiste Collette from Baptiste Collette Bayou Light #1 to its intersection with the Mississippi River. This is to protect vessels and personnel involved in booming operations in the area (MSIB 97 08 MAY10).
Marine Safety Unit Morgan City MSIB 009-10 Waterways Status: The Louisiana Offshore Oil Port (LOOP) remains open to vessels and is free of restrictions to marine traffic.
Mariners are requested to use extreme caution from Mississippi River Mile Marker 15 and South through all passes due to extreme maritime congestion. Anchorage areas and berths within the area are experiencing abnormally high utilization. Prudent seamanship, safety and security of vessels and personnel, and obedience of the rules of the road are critical for maintaining the safety of this waterway. (MSIB 105)
