Anybody knowing of any potential objects submerged or moored on the seabed within the survey area, that could be damaged or form a hazard to the vessel and its equipment should advise BFS of their position and nature. When operations commence a listening watch will be maintained on VHF Channel 12 and 16 when within the appropriate port authority area.
