Mertech Marine Projects BV will conduct subsea cable recovery operations offshore of Manchester, California, utilizing the vessel CRV Grace (Call Sign: V2ZV5). The CRV Grace is a 260-foot cable vessel with a blue/red hull and a white deckhouse. Operations are scheduled to run from October 7, 2026, through October 30, 2026, within a 100-meter wide corridor centered around position 39-00.45N 123-43.70W. Due to the nature of cable recovery, the CRV Grace will have a severely restricted ability to maneuver. Pursuant to the U.S. Submarine Cable Act (47 U.S.C. section 25), all anglers must avoid deploying gear within 1 nautical mile of the cable vessel and within 0.25 nautical miles of any buoy marking a cable location. All vessels intending to pass within 500 feet of the CRV Grace must establish radio contact on VHF-FM Channel 16 and obtain clearance from the vessel Master prior to approaching.
