Texas City Channel - Monopile Operation --- --- Monopile driving operations will be conducted along the Texas City Channel near Docks 42 and 43. Two configurations will be utilized by the monopile operation project vessels. 1. When the materials barge is utilized, the configuration will extend to the middle of the channel and will restrict vessel transits to tows with a single barge only. 2. When the materials barge is not part of the configuration, tows with two barges may transit. U.S. Coast Guard Vessel Traffic Service Houston-Galveston will implement the following vessel traffic measures until further notice: • 7:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m.: No ship traffic. Single barge tow transits only when materials barge is part of the monopile configuration. • 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.: Normal traffic pattern, no restrictions. • 12:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.: No ship traffic. Single barge tow transits only when materials barge is part of the monopile configuration. Tows are requested to coordinate at least 2-hours in advance to ensure the configuration of the operation can be determined to manage vessel transits. The M/V RUSSELL MARINE 1 will monitor VHF-FM Channels 13 and 87A, or can be contacted at (281) 979-4696 to coordinate towing vessel passing arrangements.
