§ 150.940 Safety zones for specific deepwater ports.
(a) Louisiana Offshore Oil Port (LOOP): (1) The location of the safety zone for LOOP is as described in Table 150.940(A):
Table 150.940(A)_Safety Zone for Loop, Gulf of Mexico------------------------------------------------------------------------ Latitude N Longitude W------------------------------------------------------------------------(i) Starting at: 28°55[min]23[sec]............... 90°00[min]37[sec](ii) A rhumb line to: 28°53[min]50[sec]............... 90°04[min]07[sec](iii) Then an arc with a 4,465 meter (4,883 yard) radius centered at the port's pumping platform complex: 28°53[min]06[sec]............... 90°01[min]30[sec](iv) To a point: 28°51[min]07[sec]............... 90°03[min]06[sec](v) Then a rhumb line to: 28°50[min]09[sec]............... 90°02[min]24[sec](vi) Then a rhumb line to: 28°49[min]05[sec]............... 89°55[min]54[sec](vii) Then a rhumb line to: 28°48[min]36[sec]............... 89°55[min]00[sec](viii) Then a rhumb line to: 28°52[min]04[sec]............... 89°52[min]42[sec](ix) Then a rhumb line to: 28°53[min]10[sec]............... 89°53[min]42[sec](x) Then a rhumb line to: 28°54[min]52[sec]............... 89°57[min]00[sec](xi) Then a rhumb line to: 28°54[min]52[sec]............... 89°59[min]36[sec](xii) Then an arc with a 4,465 meter (4,883 yard) radius centered again at the port's pumping platform complex;(xiii) To the point of starting: 28°55[min]23[sec]............... 90°00[min]37[sec]------------------------------------------------------------------------

(2) The areas to be avoided within the safety zone are:
(i) The area encompassed within a circle having a 600 meter radius around the port's pumping platform complex and centered at:
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------ Latitude N Longitude W------------------------------------------------------------------------28°53[min]06[sec].................. 90°-1[min]30[sec]------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
(ii) The six areas encompassed within a circle having a 500 meter radius around each single point mooring (SPM) at the port and centered at:
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------ Latitude N Longitude W------------------------------------------------------------------------28°54[min]12[sec].................. 90°00[min]37[sec]28°53[min]16[sec].................. 89°59[min]59[sec]28°52[min]15[sec].................. 90°00[min]19[sec]28°51[min]45[sec].................. 90°01[min]25[sec]28°52[min]08[sec].................. 90°02[min]33[sec]28°53[min]07[sec].................. 90°03[min]02[sec]------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
(3) The anchorage area within the safety zone is an area enclosed by the rhumb lines joining points at:
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------ Latitude N Longitude W------------------------------------------------------------------------28°52[min]21[sec].................. 89°57[min]47[sec]28°54[min]05[sec].................. 89°56[min]38[sec]28°52[min]04[sec].................. 89°52[min]42[sec]28°50[min]20[sec].................. 89°53[min]51[sec]28°52[min]21[sec].................. 89°57[min]47[sec]------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b) The Gulf Gateway Deepwater Port (GGDWP)—(1) Description. The GGDWP safety zone is centered at the following coordinates: 28°05'16" N, 093°03'07" W. This safety zone, encompassed within a circle having a 500 meter radius around the primary component of the Gulf Gateway Deepwater Port, the submerged loading turret (buoy) and the pipeline end manifold (STL/PLEM), is located approximately 116 miles off the Louisiana coast at West Cameron Area, South Addition Block 603 “A”.
(2) Regulations. Deepwater port support vessels desiring to enter the safety zone must contact and obtain permission from the LNG Regasification Vessel (LNGRV) stationed at the deepwater port. The LNGRV can be contacted on VHF-FM Channel 13.
