GEOPHYSICAL OPERATIONS IN PROGRESS UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE BY M/V ANTICOSTI TOWING 750 METER LONG CABLE IN AREA BETWEEN 46-53N 46-57N AND 048-02W 048-08W. WIDE BERTH REQUESTED.
Reading this warning
- Until further notice
- The operation or danger has no scheduled end; the warning stays in force until a later message cancels it.
- Towed array / streamer
- Equipment towed a long way behind a vessel — sonar, a hydrophone cable, a sampling sled — invisible at the surface.
- Tow / towing
- A vessel towing another vessel, a barge or a structure — slow, hard to manoeuvre, and with a long line between.
- Position (degrees and minutes)
- How warnings write positions: degrees, a hyphen, then minutes, with N/S and E/W — 49-40.8N 003-43.8W.
- Wide berth requested
- Keep well clear — or, when a distance is given ("TWO MILE BERTH REQUESTED"), at least that far away.
