Abstract

The Coast Guard proposes to establish two new fairway anchorages adjacent to the existing safety fairway approaches to Sabine Bank and Sabine Pass, Texas. These two additional fairway anchorages would be in deeper water than the existing anchorages along the Sabine Pass fairway to accommodate vessels, primarily petroleum tankers, with deeper drafts. This rulemaking enhances the efficient transportation of energy resources and advances our national energy dominance. The establishment of these anchorages in deeper waters enhances navigation safety and the flow of commerce, contributing to economic growth and national energy security.
