Offshore ADNOC 3D seismic survey operations

10 May 2022 / Zayed Port/Musaffah, United Arab Emirates

Until 16 May, up to ten vessels are engaged in the deployment of cables with seismic nodes attached to the seabed at Zayed Port channel, Musaffah outer channel and approaches including Musaffah short stay anchorage area.

Following deployment, vessels will then sail along the lines of the cables, east to west, to carry out acoustic positioning and shooting operations.

All vessels navigating in the area should navigate with caution and lookout for survey vessels engaged in seismic survey operations displaying the appropriate day and night shapes and light signals. Survey operations will be monitored and controlled by VTS and normal shipping operations will be maintained without disruption. Zayed Port VTS Ch. 67 & Musaffah Port VTS Ch.14

To avoid any possible fouling of the cables by ships anchors, vessels are requested to not use Musaffah short stay anchorage area during the stated period.
