BROADCAST NOTICE TO MARINERS - Information concerning aids to navigation and waterway management promulgated through BNM HB-0013-18, SF-0160-18, LA-0145-18, and SD-0105-18 have been incorporated in this notice, or will continue if still significant.

SECTION I - SPECIAL NOTICES This section contains information of special concern to the Mariner.

SUBMITTING INFORMATION FOR PUBLICATION IN THE LOCAL NOTICE TO MARINERS A complete set of guidelines with examples and contact information can be found at http://www.pacificarea.uscg.mil/Our-Organization/District- 11/Prevention-Division/LnmRequest/ or call BM1 Silvestre Suga at 510-437-2980 or e-mail [email protected]. Please provide all Local Notice to Mariners submissions 14 days prior to the start of operations.

BRIDGE INFORMATION- PROJECTS, DISCREPANCIES, CORRECTIONS & REGULATORY For all bridge related issues, including lighting, operation, obstructions, construction, demolition, etc. contact the Eleventh Coast Guard District Bridge Administrator 24 hour cell phone at 510-219-4366. Flotsam may accumulate on and near bridge piers and abutments. Mariners should approach all bridges with caution. A vessel delay at a drawbridge may be reported to the District Bridge Administrator by telephone, or by using the Delay_Report_11-2017.pdf included in the Enclosures section of this Local Notice to Mariners.

BRIDGE INFORMATION-COMMUNICATIONS PROTOCOL-BENICIA/MARTINEZ UPRR BRIDGE- All mariners requiring a bridge lift at the Benicia-Martinez Union Pacific Railroad Bridge, mile 7.0, over the Carquinez Strait, California, should follow the protocol in the document entitled “Coordination of Communications for Union Pacific Railroad Lift Operations." Mariners can download a copy of the document by selecting the link BENICIA-MARTINEZ RR BRIDGE under the QUICK LINKS section at https://www.pacificarea.uscg.mil/vtssf.

CAUTION TO BE USED IN RELIANCE UPON AIDS TO NAVIGATION The aids to navigation depicted on charts comprise a system of fixed and floating aids to navigation with varying degrees of reliability. Prudent mariners will not rely solely on any single aid to navigation, particularly a floating aid to navigation. With respect to buoys, the buoy symbol is used to indicate the approximate position of the buoy body and the sinker which secures the buoy to the seabed. The approximate position is used because of the practical limitations in positioning and maintaining buoys and their sinkers in precise geographical locations. These limitations include, but are not limited to, inherent imprecision in position fixing methods, prevailing atmospheric and sea conditions, slope of and the material making up the seabed, the fact that buoys are moored to sinkers by varying length of chain, and the fact that the buoy body and/or sinker positions are not under continuous surveillance, but are normally checked only during periodic maintenance visits which often occur more than a year apart. Due to the forces of nature, the position of the buoy body can be expected to shift inside and outside the charted symbol. The mariner is also cautioned that buoys may be extinguished or sound signals may not function as the result of natural causes, collisions, or other accidents. For the foregoing reasons, a prudent mariner must not rely completely upon the position or operation of floating aids to navigation, but will also utilize bearings from fixed objects and aids to navigation on shore. Furthermore, a vessel attempting to pass close aboard always risks collision with a yawing buoy or with the obstruction that the buoy marks.

MARINE SAFETY INFORMATION BULLETIN Mariners directing the movement of large ships in or near the offshore approaches to Bay have indicated to the Coast Guard that

Page 1 of 22 LNM: 43/18 Coast Guard District 11 24 October 2018 the high-intensity “work-lights” on decks used by commercial fishing vessels prevent vessel operators from seeing the commercial fishing vessel’s navigation lights at night and in low-visibility conditions.

A clear and present threat to navigation safety exists when one vessel cannot see the navigation lights of another vessel. If navigation lights are obscured, the aspect of the latter vessel cannot be determined making it extremely difficult for both vessels to successfully execute the nautical rules of the road. International Navigation Rule 20 states that no other lights that may impair the visibility of the lights specified in the Rules shall be displayed from sunset to sunrise and during periods of low visibility. Vessels found to be in violation of Rule 20 may be subject to a potential $6,500 fine.

All vessels operating near the inbound or outbound off-shore traffic lanes are strongly encouraged to comply with the Navigation Rules as they pertain to navigation lights. Vessels are also encouraged to maintain an active listening watch on VHF-FM Chan. 13 and 16, when the intentions of another vessel are unclear, communicate to make arrangements to reduce the risk of collision. Chart 18649 LNM: 45/16

BOATING PUBLIC NOTICE 2018-2019 Mavericks Surf Competition

The 2018-2019 World Surf League Surf Competition is a one day “Big Wave” surfing competition that only occurs when 15-20 foot waves are sustained for over 24 hours and are combined with mild easterly winds of no more than 5-10 knots. These conditions are anticipated to be ideal between November 1, 2018 and March 31, 2019. Notice of specific dates of times will be announced via Broadcast Notice to Mariners and published by Coast Guard in a separate Boating Public Notice at least 24 hours in advance of the competition.

The dynamic nature of breaking surf in the vicinity of the event creates inherent hazards for both participants and spectators. Due to the hazardous waters surrounding Pillar Point at the time of the surfing competition, the Coast Guard discourages spectators from observing the event on the water. The Coast Guard has established a Special Local Regulation for the event within the area bounded by an arc extending 1,000 yards from Sail Rock. The regulation is intended to ensure the safety of competitors by delineating a specific competition area, and to provide for the safety of spectators by imposing operating restrictions on vessels operating within the regulated area. Coast Guard and San Mateo County Harbor District assets will be in the event area and ready to respond in case of an emergency.

Spectators choosing to view the event from the water do so at their own risk, and should exercise extreme caution, remain aware of changing surf conditions, and ensure their vessel is of appropriate design and construction and outfitted with proper safety equipment for operation in a dynamic offshore environment. In the event of an on-water emergency, contact the Coast Guard Command Center at (415) 399-3547 or via VHF Channel 16. Special Local Regulation; Half Moon Bay, CA, Mavericks Surf Competition Regulated Area contained within an arc extending 1,000 yards from Sail Rock: 37 29’34”N, 122 30’02”W ZONE 1 – COMPETITION AREA

Section 1 — Routine Communications Basic instructions

When to call This communications protocol is based on the vessel establishing initial contact with the bridge when the vessel is at the following locations.

Vessel is… Establish first communications… Transiting eastbound When the vessel is underneath the and prior to the Position report to VTS. Transiting westbound When the vessel is between New York Point and Naval Weapons Station Pier 3. Call no later than NWS and prior to the Position report to VTS. Moored between the As soon as possible after making the Sailing Plan Carquinez Bridge and report to VTS. New York Point

Key phrases In order for the communications protocol to be successful both parties must make every effort to communicate in accordance with the example communications provided herein. These key phrases are intended to aid in avoiding confusion with respect to when a lift is required.

VTS’s role VTS’s primary role with respect to this communications protocol is to monitor communications. If key phrases are not used either party (rail or bridge) may be prompted by VTS to repeat communications. Whenever confused as to the intended meaning of communication VTS may intervene. Note: Either party (rail or bridge) may request the other to repeat communications whenever key phrases are not used or meaning is unclear.

Call signs The following radio call signs apply

Station Call sign Ship Pilot unit designator: “Unit Tango” Rail “Union Pacific Railroad Bridge” or “UP Bridge” VTS “San Francisco Traffic” or “Traffic”

Advance call procedures

Procedure Perform the following steps to advise the bridge of an expected lift request call. Note: Where there are superscript numbers, refer to the explanations in Appendix A.

Who Part Syntax NOTICE Ship to Rail This is Unit [unit designator] aboard the [ship name] at [location] making an ADVANCE CALL. I 1 will call you at [time] to request a full lift. REPEAT & ACK Rail to Ship Understand Unit [unit designator] is making an ADVANCE CALL and will call at [time] to request a full lift. During the above communications the rail will assess the situation and will be prepared to present Option 1 or Option 2 (below). If necessary rail should tell the ship to “stand by” to allow extra time for situational assessment. Option 1 — If no trains are expected… Rail to Ship AFFIRM 2 Standing by for your call. Ship to Rail VERIFY & END That is correct. Out.

Option 2 — If a train might conflict with the lift request time… PROPOSE 3 Rail to Ship There is a [passenger / freight] train scheduled over the bridge. Can you delay your request for a lift until [time]? ANSWER Ship to Rail a) Affirmative. Unit [unit designator] will delay request for a full lift until [new time]. or b) Negative. Unit [unit designator] is not able to delay request for a full lift. REPEAT & ACK Rail to Ship Understand that Unit [unit designator] is able / not able to delay lift request and will call at [time] to request a full lift. Rail to Ship AFFIRM 2 Standing by for your call. Ship to Rail VERIFY & END That is correct. Out. IMPORTANT: If the bridge or the ship experiences problems which may impact the lift time the party experiencing the problem shall notify i the other immediately.

Requesting a lift procedures

Procedure Perform the following steps when requesting a lift. Note: Where there are superscript numbers, refer to the explanations in Appendix A.

Who Part Syntax REQUEST Ship to Rail This is Unit [unit designator] aboard the [ship name] 4 at [location] making a LIFT REQUEST. Request a full lift now. REPEAT & ACK Rail to Ship Understand Unit [unit designator] is making a LIFT REQUEST for a full lift now. Ship to Rail VERIFY That is correct. Rail to Ship INFO 1. LIFTING NOW: The lift has started. or 2. ROUTINE DELAY: There is a [passenger / freight] train moving through the block. Lift will start at approximately [time]. or 3. MAJOR DELAY: I cannot lift the bridge due to [briefly describe]. REPEAT & ACK Ship to Rail Understand [repeat information from bridge]. Rail to Ship VERIFY & END That is correct. Out.

When the bridge is at a full lift.

Rail to Ship INFO You have a full lift. Ship to Rail REPEAT & ACK Understand I have a full lift. Rail to Ship VERIFY & END That is correct. Out.

Canceling request for a lift

Procedure Perform the following steps when canceling a request for a lift. Note: Where there are superscript numbers, refer to the explanations in Appendix A.

Who Part Syntax CANCEL Ship to Rail This is Unit [unit designator] aboard the [ship name] 5 at [location] canceling the lift request. No bridge lift is required. REPEAT & ACK Rail to Ship Understand Unit [unit designator] is canceling the lift request. No bridge lift is required. Ship to Rail VERIFY & END That is correct. Out.

Keeping the If the vessel’s decision to cancel the lift request is based on information ship informed reported by the rail (e.g., mechanical problems with the bridge, train stuck on the bridge, etc.), the rail should keep the ship advised of current conditions. As soon as the problem is corrected and the bridge is able to lift, the ship should be notified.

Section 2 — Emergency Communications Basic instructions

Purpose of the A “danger imminent” report from a vessel prepares the bridge to take reports immediate steps to mitigate damage or injury. A “danger imminent” report from the bridge warns nearby vessels to take immediate action to avoid approaching the bridge. An “initial damage assessment report” provides critical post-accident damage control information. This report contains only that information which must be acted on ASAP to forestall harm or prompt immediate rescue or pollution response.

Reporting Consider the following reporting priorities in an emergency situation. priorities

Priority Radio What To Do Channel 1st Warn the affected parties using the emergency 13 communication procedure. nd 2 14 Report the emergency to VTS San Francisco.

Channel 16 Channel 16 is the international maritime calling and distress channel. facts Onlookers may report an emergency to the Coast Guard on channel 16. However… • In the San Francisco Bay Region vessels participating with VTS are not required to monitor channel 16. • The UPRRB never monitors channel 16.

Emergency communications procedures

Emergency When giving a radio alert of an emergency concerning the Union Pacific alert radio Railroad Bridge (UPRRB) or a ship approaching or transiting through the signal UPRRB, the word “Emergency” should be stated three times in succession on VHF FM Channel 13 as in the procedure below.

Procedure Following are the emergency communication procedures.

Danger imminent (Report ASAP before an accident.) Who Part Acton and syntax Ship to Rail or WHISTLE Five or more rapid blasts of the whistle. ALERT Rail to Ship Ship to Rail or INITIAL CALL State: [ship/rail call sign ] this is [station reporting the emergency]. Rail to Ship Ship to Rail or RADIO ALERT State: Emergency, Emergency, Emergency. Rail to Ship Ship to Rail or INFORMATION Report the nature of the emergency. Rail to Ship Examples: • Imminent collision with the bridge. • Obstructions hanging from bridge. • Train derailment affecting waterway. • Flammable liquids falling from bridge. • Toxic gas cloud. • Bridge lowering in front of ship. • Person falling from bridge.

Initial damage assessment (Report ASAP after an accident.) Who Part Action Ship to VTS or DAMAGE REPORT Answer these questions: Rail to VTS 1. Rail track obstruction or damage? 2. Structural damage to bridge support? Ship to VTS or RESPONSE INFORMATION Answer these questions: Rail to VTS 1. People injured or in the water? 2. Navigation channel passable? 3. Pollution? 4. Damage (fire, flooding, collapse, etc.)?

Appendix A — Terminology and phrases

From the The following terminology and phrases are used in the document. document

1. The time referred to by the ship in the phrase “…will call you at [time] to request a full lift…” refers to the time of day that the ship is expected to make the lift request not the time of day that the ship should expect the bridge to be at a full lift. 2. The affirmation phrase “Standing by for your call.” means the following to the vessel: With the information that I (referring to the bridge tender) have at this time, I should be able to lift the bridge when you call back at the time specified.

3. The phrase “train scheduled over the bridge” means that the train is expected to occupy the bridge rail block (circuit) at the request time thereby preventing the bridge from opening. 4. The phrase “…making a LIFT REQUEST. Request a full lift now.” satisfies 33 CFR 117.5 [Drawbridge Operating Regulations] which directs the bridge to open when the request is made. It says: “…drawbridges shall open promptly and fully for the passage of vessels when a request to open is given in accordance with the subpart.” 5. The phrase “No bridge lift is required.” means that the bridge is no longer under obligation to lift the bridge until another lift request is made by the vessel.

The temporary trestles provide 75 feet of horizontal clearance and 48.5 feet of vertical clearance from Mean High Water to the lowest hittable portion of the bridge between the trestles. The upstream and downstream trestles are lighted at night with steady burning all-round red lights. The center of the navigation span, between piers 14 and 15, is marked at night with all-round steady burning green lights.
