A vessel traffic signal has been installed at the entrance to the marina and is located on the southerly wave attenuator. The traffic signal faces north towards boat traffic preparing to exit the marina. The traffic signal uses cameras to sense the potential presence of large vessels approaching the marina from the north and south. Boaters are reminded that not all vessels (including small or large vessels, barges, or vessels in tow) may trigger the signal; therefore, caution and attention to surroundings must be exercised at all times. Boaters are reminded that this signal DOES NOT control vessel traffic in the Arthur Kill and passing vessels will not stop or alter their course to accommodate vessels entering or exiting the marina. Additionally, vessels exiting the marina are only permitted to make right hand (southerly) turns and must proceed south a safe distance to establish a safe environment in which to turn and begin on a northerly course. Boaters shall only exit the marina when permitted by the marina's vessel traffic signal: • A steady RED signal indicates that a vessel with limited maneuverability may be near the marina's entrance. While the red signal is illuminated, boaters should remain a safe distance from the mouth of the marina and not enter or exit the marina. • A flashing YELLOW signal indicates that the signal system has not identified a vessel with limited maneuverability approaching the marina enhance. Boaters may enter or exit the marina while exercising caution and remaining aware that not all vessels may trigger the warning system. • Boaters are reminded that the fastest currents and turbulent water conditions generated from passing vessels may exist near the wave attenuators and entrance to the marina, and may exist an extended period of time before or after a large vessel has passed the entranced; therefore, boaters are cautioned to remain clear of the areas.until a YELLOW signal appears and water conditions have calmed. Vessels are not permitted to moor themselves to the wave attenuators or steel pier while waiting for vessels in the Arthur Kill to pass. • In the event that the signal system is not operational or appears RED for an extended period without an obvious vessel traversing the Arthur Kill, the boater shall immediately contact the Carteret Marina Harbormaster for further instruction. All boaters are provided with copies of the following safety and informational guides which must be reviewed annually at the time of the Marina Safety Training Course: • A quick reference guide to the US Coast Guard's "Rules of the Road ". An unabridged version of the document is available at: https://www.navcen.ljscg.pov/t)df/navRuies/liavmles.pd f • Carteret Marina Vessel Safety Course developed for the marina by ABS Consulting • "Life Lines" brochure from the American Waterways Operators. • Review "Mariner's Guide to Port of NY and NJ" video at www.thesafeharbor.us The marina is under electronic surveillance by the NJSP.
