A 100-metre exclusion zone will be in place around the Twofold Bay and the vessels it is being towed by from 7am on Thursday 18 June. Both vessels will travel from West Quay to a final position just east of Pania Reef where the Twofold Bay is to be scuttled at 1pm.
The vessels involved in the operation will be operating within a confined space during the transit through the Inner Harbour channel.
All vessels not involved in the operation must keep clear in the interest of navigation safety. There will be a 100-metre exclusion zone around the vessel whilst underway and at the final position. Vessels that are not a part of the operation are welcome to view the scuttling but must maintain a distance of at least 100 metres.
