166.200 Shipping safety fairways and anchorage areas, Gulf of Mexico.
§ 166.200 Shipping safety fairways and anchorage areas, Gulf of
Mexico.
(a) Purpose. Fairways and anchorage areas as described in
this section are established to control the erection of structures
therein to provide safe approaches through oil fields in the Gulf
of Mexico to entrances to the major ports along the Gulf Coast.
(b) Special Conditions for Fairways in the Gulf of
Mexico. Temporary anchors and attendant cables or chains
attached to floating or semisubmersible drilling rigs outside a
fairway may be placed within a fairway described in this section
for the Gulf of Mexico, provided the following conditions are
met:
(1) Anchors installed within fairways to stablize
semisubmersible drilling rigs shall be allowed to remain 120 days.
This period may be extended by the Army Corps of Engineers, as
provided by § 209.135(b).
(2) Drilling rigs must be outside of any fairway boundary to
whatever distance is necessary to ensure that the minimum depth of
water over an anchor line within a fairway is 125 feet.
(3) No anchor buoys or floats or related rigging will be allowed
on the surface of the water or to a depth of at least 125 feet from
the surface, within a fairway.
(4) Aids to Navigation or danger markings must be installed as
required by 33 CFR Subchapter C.
(c) Special Conditions for Fairway Anchorages in the Gulf of
Mexico. Structures may be placed within an area designated as a
fairway anchorage, but the number of structures will be limited by
spacing as follows:
(1) The center of a structure to be erected shall not be less
than two (2) nautical miles from the center of any existing
structure.
(2) In a drilling or production complex, associated structures
connected by walkways shall be considered one structure for
purposes of spacing, and shall be as close together as practicable
having due consideration for the safety factors involved.
(3) A vessel fixed in place by moorings and used in conjunction
with the associated structures of a drilling or production complex,
shall be considered an attendant vessel and the extent of the
complex shall include the vessel and its moorings.
(4) When a drilling or production complex extends more than five
hundred (500) yards from the center, a new structure shall not be
erected closer than two (2) nautical miles from the outer limit of
the complex.
(5) An underwater completion installation in an anchorage area
shall be considered a structure and shall be marked with a lighted
buoy approved by the United States Coast Guard under § 66.01.
