Please be advised that the overnight work detailed is anticipated to occur overnight early Tuesday morning, December 13th, weather permitting. As a reminder, this overnight work entails pulling the pipe into the drill bore, and is imperative that once it starts the work is completed on a continuous basis.  Due to the length of the pipe and speed of pull back, it is expected that this will take in excess of 12 hours and is likely to fall outside standard site hours.

Statement from Orsted Regarding Mooring System in Use

“As part of the fish monitoring study outlined in the SFW Fisheries Study Work Plan, the Stony Brook University team is conducting a regular visit to the sensor array off Wainscott today to collect data from sensors, replace batteries, and deploy new retrievable moorings alongside the previous moorings. As the Stony Brook team is deploying new moorings alongside the existing moorings there’s no change to the mariners briefing, our standard method for updating mariners on the presence of equipment in navigational waters. Members of the fisheries outreach team, in collaboration with the research team, have worked with the fishing community to select an alternative mooring, one that is smaller, lightweight and retrievable, and is more compatible with commercial fishing in response to the feedback we’ve received from the community on original deployment of cement moorings.”

Images of the mooring system and a diagram are shown below.
