Charleston Pilots Operation – Tropical Storm Colin
Received from Charleston Branch Pilots Office:<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">
June 6, 2016 – 4:27 pm<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"> – Based on the most recent forecasts, Trop Storm Colin now appears to be
an issue for safe operations in the Port of Charleston. Boarding and disembarking pilots at the “C” Buoy looks highly questionable between 0200 and noon tomorrow (Tuesday June 7). Recommend labor on June 7 no earlier than 1900. Recommend ships currently
in berth depart to clear “C” by midnight tonight or remain in port until mid-day or later Tuesday.
<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Recommend any ship bound for the port this evening make as much speed as possible and plan on boardings no later than midnight. Agents, please pass this on to inbound ships at sea.
<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">The current forecast has the storm right on top of us at 0700 Tuesday morning. Please understand the above restrictions may need to be expanded based on forthcoming forecasts and actual
conditions. If you are pushing labor back, we believe 1900 is the best option.
Thank you,
