DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY

USACE NASHVILLE DISTRICT - SEMI-ANNUAL NAVIGATION MEETING

LOWER MISSISSIPPI RIVER - SAFETY ADVISORY/CHANNEL CONDITION

LOWER MISSISSIPPI RIVER - VICKSBURG INFORMATION CENTER - UPDATE

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) encourages the maritime public to report information concerning suspicious activity to the local Federal Bureau of Investigation Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) Office, http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/investigate/terrorism/terrorism_jttfs, or to other appropriate authorities. The U.S. Coast Guard reminds the maritime industry that they may also report information concerning suspicious activity to the www.AmericasWaterwayWatch.org, the National Response Center (NRC) 1-800-424-8802 or 1-877-24WATCH.

The USACE Nashville District will host a Navigation Meeting on March 15, 2018, from 10:00 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. Attached as enclosures to this LNM are the Notice to Navigation Interests 18-09 and the agenda for the meeting.

The COTP Lower Mississippi has issued an extreme high water Safety Advisory from Mile 725.5 to Mile 439.0, due to hazardous conditions associated with strong currents, severe outdrafts, missing/off station aids to navigation and diving buoys. The COTP in concurrence with the Lower Mississippi River Committee recommends the following limits to tows when the Greenville, Mississippi, Gauge reaches 50.0 feet and transiting from Mile 725.5 to Mile 439.0.Down-bound: Wheelmen are to have recent experience handling current river conditions. Towing vessels must have at least 2880 h.p., per loaded barge or 140 h.p., per empty, with a maximum tow size of 36 loaded barges. Towing vessels with less than 6,000 h.p., a maximum tow size of 20 loaded barges. Towing vessels with less than 6,000 h.p., with a mixed tow, a maximum tow size of 15 loads and 10 empties for a maximum tow size of 25 barges.No night time transit of the Helena Bridge, for tows wider than 110 feet. All loaded red flag barges, in mixed tows, shall be placed in inboard strings, shall not be a lead load in any string and shall be covered/protected by a dry-cargo or empty red flag barge.Up-bound: Must maintain an average speed of 3.0 MPH over ground from 2 miles leading up to the Helena Bridge. If a tow is unable to average a minimum speed of 3.0 MPH, it must arrange for an assist tug or reduce tow size.Fleet operators should regularly check their fleets and immediately report barge breakaways to the U.S. Coast Guard. Mariners are requested to contact the U.S. Coast Guard Sector Lower Mississippi River via VHF-FM Channel 16 or at (866) 777-2784, for further information or to reportarea of concern.

The Vicksburg Information Center (VIC) will be established by the Lower Mississippi River Committee (LOMRC) when the Vicksburg Gauge reaches40 feet, to provide mariners with the most current information related to river conditions effecting transit through the Vicksburg Bridges and approaches. The following guidelines are in place to aid in the safe transit through the Vicksburg Bridges and approach.Down-bound tows greater than 110 feet shall only transit through the Vicksburg Bridges from sunrise until sunset, when the VIC is in operation.Down-bound tows will check in with the VIC, during daylight hours, at the following locations; Mile 455.0, Milliken Bend and Mile 445.0, Browns

LOWER MISSISSIPPI RIVER - SAFETY ADVISORY/CHANNEL CONDITION - UPDATE

Point.Up-bound tows will normally be cleared during the night, but can be passed during the day if south bound traffic is light or if the VIC coordinator deems it safe.Vessel queues will be maintained by the VIC during this high water event and can be contacted via VHF-FM Channel 13 or at (601) 631-3428 andis the primary contact. The high water Marine Information Safety Bulletin (MISB), has now been posted on the U.S. Coast Guard Homeport Website, under the U.S. Coast Guard Sector Lower Mississippi River Port Page. The VIC will ensure that all vessels have both the captain and the pilot present on the bridge, during the Vicksburg Bridges transit. In addition to tows greater than 110 feet wide, any tows with red flag barges, regardless of tow size, may transit the Vicksburg Bridges during daylight only.

Ccontinuing until March 23, 2018, GPS testing will be conducted in the vicinity of Fort Polk, Louisiana. Systems that rely on GPS, such as E-911, AIS and DSC, may be affected at an approximate test center of 31-05-35.0N 093-03-50.2W, with a possible impact radius of 45 nautical miles from the center point. More information is available at the U.S. Coast Guard Navigation Center Website, https://www.navcen.uscg.gov . During these periods, GPS users are encouraged to report any GPS outages that they may experience, to the Navigation Information Service (NIS) by calling (703) 313-5900 or by using the NAVCEN Website to submit a GPS problem report.

The following zones are in the high water action phase in accordance with the Western Rivers Waterways Action Plan:Illinois Waterway: Zone 6 (Mile 145.5 – Mile 129.0). Recreational traffic is strongly discouraged, due to debris and swift currents. Laying up on saturated levees isprohibited.The following zones are in the high water watch phase in accordance with the Western Rivers Waterways Action Plan:Zone 7 (Mile 180.9 – Mile 145.5) and Zone 5, 4, 3 and 2 (Mile 128.9 – Mile 10.0).Mariners should exercise caution and minimize their wake and avoid laying up on saturated levees. Mariners should be experienced in high waterconditions and avoid down-streaming. Mariners should remain vigilant to an increase in debris and maneuver appropriately, be aware of the buildup of debris in fleeting areas and take appropriate action to prevent any breakaways from occurring. Mariners are to use caution in all meeting and overtaking situations. Navigation buoys may have been dragged off station, so remain cautious while transiting the area.

Attached as an enclosure to this LNM, is a USACE Tulsa District Arkansas River Channel Status Report 18-02.

Attached as an enclosure to this LNM is USACE New Orleans District Navigation Bulletin 18-28, regarding navigation during high water levels fromBaton Rouge to Venice, LA.

The COTP lower Mississippi River is issuing a Safety Advisory due to the expected rapid increase in river levels. Mariners are advised to transit the area with caution, due to the hazardous conditions associated with strong currents, severe out drafts, missing/off station aids to navigation and diving buoys.

The International Maritime Organization (IMO), the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO), and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) inform the maritime community of the planned Inmarsat I-3 to I-4 satellite migration in 2018. See enclosure for further details.

The COTP Ohio Valley has issued a Safety Advisory from Paducah, Kentucky to Cairo, Illinois, between approximate Miles 937.0 and 981.0. It ishighly recommended that south-bound transits through this area, take place during daylight hours. High currents and drift are present in the area and this proactive measure will reduce the risk of bridge allisions as well as decrease potential property damage, due to flooding that is occurring adjacent to the river. Mariners are urged to exercise caution in the area.

The high water Safety Advisory from Mile 439.0 to Mile 303.0, has been cancelled.

INMARSAT I-3 TO I-4 SATELLITE MIGRATION The International Maritime Organization (IMO), the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO), and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) inform the maritime community of the planned Inmarsat I-3 to I-4 satellite migration in 2018. The services specific to the maritime sector include Inmarsat-C, Mini C, and Fleet77. These services have operated successfully over the I-4 satellites previously and therefore minimal service impact is anticipated. Inmarsat worked closely with Land Earth Station operators (LESOs), terminal manufacturers, Administrations that provide Maritime Safety Information (MSI), and other stakeholders during the extensive preparation of the migration plan. Safety services will be restored first with the highest priority. The migration will have minimal impact on seafarers. The migration will start in April 2018 and take approximately 9 months to complete. The approach of Inmarsat is to migrate these services satellite-by-satellite as illustrated below.

I-3 to I-4 Satellite Migration Timelines Atlantic Ocean Region West (AORW) I-3 to I-4 Americas (AMER) April 2018 Pacific Ocean Region (POR) I-3 to I-4 Asia/Pacific (APAC) July 2018 Atlantic Ocean Region East (AORE) I-3 moved to I-3 F5 September 2018 Indian Ocean Region (IOR) I-3 to I-4 Alphasat EMEA October 2018
