PORT OF LIVERPOOL
Summer repositioning of L2 Sea Jack
Notice is hereby given that BAM Nuttall plan 5 southerly, 45 metre repositions of the
Sea Jack carne barge at the Liverpool 2 project site, in intervals of approximately 2-3
weeks during the months of May, June and July 2015.
Each move will be planned to be completed within the two hours to high water and
the first is planned for high water 0304 BST on Saturday 23rd May 2015.
The sea jack is moved using the vessels own 4 point anchor system.
Two of the anchors will be positions on the western and southern side of the Seajack
site and each have a 2m x 1.5m unlit yellow “can” marker buoy attached by a 25m
pennant wire.
The anchors will only be deployed immediately prior to the movement commencing.
Once Sea Jack is in position and in jacking mode, these anchors will be immediately
recovered by the site tugs and relocated in to the worksite area.
The southern anchor and marker buoy will extend beyond the L2 delimitation site
into the channel by approximately 150 metres during the first move. Each
subsequent move will mean the anchor will encroach further into the channel to a
maximum of approximately 250 metres.
MTS Valour will standby at the buoy position for the duration of each move.
