I. SPECIAL NOTICE

WASHINGTON - LAKE WASHINGTON - COULON BEACH PARK - Salvage Operations -

The U.S. Navy will be conducting salvage operations approximately one
half mile north of the south shore by the Renton Airport. These
operations will commence 17 August 1996 and continue until 13 September
1996. There will be two barges moored in a three point moor. A NO WAKE
zone has been established 100 yards around the barges. Mariners are
requested to transit the areas low speed.

CANADA - AMENDED COASTAL FISHERIES PROTECTIONS REGULATIONS - New
Requirements -

The Government of Canada has amended their Coastal Fisheries Protection
Regulations and have introduced new requirements for foreign commercial
fishing vessels transiting Canadian waters. These new requirements take
effect 0001 local 29 JUL 96.

According to the new regulations, masters of non-Canadian commercial
fishing vessels must, as soon as reasonably possible after entering
Canadian waters:

1\. Notify the Department of Fisheries and Oceans of the name, flag
state, location, route and destination of the vessel and circumstances
under which it entered Canadian fisheries waters via Marine VHF channels
71, 11 or 22A.

2\. Ensure all fishing gear is stowed below deck or otherwise removed
from the place where it is normally used for fishing and placed where it
is not readily available.

3\. When requested by a Protection Officer, proceed to a specified
location so that a vessel inspection can be conducted.

Failure to comply with this regulation may result in serious penalty.

These requirements do not apply to foreign fishing vessels operating
under a Canadian fishing license. In addition, they do not apply to
United States sport fishing vessels conducting normal sport fishing
activities. At the time of notification, the Department of Fisheries and
Oceans official will advise if a vessel inspection is required and
provide information on gear stowage. The primary reason for the
requirement is conservation. Failure to comply with requirements is
viewed as a serious offense. The Coastal Fisheries Protection Act
specifies a maximum penalty of \$100,000 (Canadian).

WASHINGTON - SEACOAST - Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary - Area
To Be Avoided -

Effective 07 June 1995 the Area to be Avoided (ATBA) went into effect.
The ATBA is a defined area that all ships or certain classes of ships
are encouraged to avoid because navigation is particularly hazardous or
it is exceptionally important to avoid casualties within the area. On 07
December 1994 the Maritime Safety Committee of the International
Maritime Organization adopted an ATBA proposed by the Washington coast
in the vicinity of the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary. In order
to reduce the risk of marine casualty, and the resulting pollution and
damage to the environment off the Olympic Coast National Marine
Sanctuary, all tank vessels, including tank barges, carrying bulk liquid
hazardous materials (oil/chemical) as cargo should avoid the area
bounded by a line connecting the following geographical points:

Latitude Longitude

\(1\) 48²23.3\'N 124²38.2\'W

\(2\) 48²23.5\'N 124²38.2\'W

\(3\) 48²25.3\'N 124²46.9\'W

\(4\) 47²51.7\'N 125²15.5\'W

\(5\) 47²07.7\'N 124²47.5\'W

\(6\) 47²07.7\'N 124²11.0\'W

The ATBA is applicable to any tank vessel or tank barge carrying cargo
of bulk liquid hazardous materials as defined in the following sections
of the United States Code of Federal Regulations (CFR):

\(1\) 46 CFR 30.25, Commodies Regulated.

\(2\) 46 CFR 151 Table 151.05: Bulk Liquid Hazardous Material Cargoes in
Barges.

\(3\) 46 CFR 153 Table 1: Vessel Carrying Bulk Liquids, Liquefied Gas,
or Compressed Gas Hazardous Material.
