Mariners are advised that Sea Coast Marine Construction will conduct dredging operations in Honga River from October 10, 2026, through March 31, 2027. Operations will be conducted continuously, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Dredging operations will be conducted using the cutter-suction dredge Scout, with a dredge pipeline extending from the stern of the dredge to the designated disposal site. Additional equipment operating in the area will include booster pump stations, multiple tugboats, an excavator barge, and an unnamed skiff. The channel will remain open for navigation during the dredging operations; however, the navigable channel width will be reduced. Submerged pipeline crossings will be present and will be marked with red/green buoys. All mariners transiting the vicinity of the dredging operations are advised to exercise caution when meeting, overtaking, or passing dredging equipment and associated work vessels. The dredge pipeline will be marked with regulatory buoys and flashing yellow lights. The dredge and associated work vessels will monitor VHF-FM Channels 65 and 16. Mariners requiring special arrangements are advised to contact the dredge at least 30 minutes in advance of transiting the area. On-site Superintendent: Keith Johnson: 631-553-1034. MSI #54018.
