Bakkafrost Scotland (BFS) will be carrying out a wave survey west of Gigha. The works are planned to start on 6 th May 2025 and will last approximately one year, weather depending. Throughout operations, the vessel will display shapes and lights prescribed in the International Rules for the Prevention of Collisions at Sea (COLREGS) Rule 27 and will be displaying the prescribed shapes and lights when the vessel is restricted in its ability to manoeuvre. It is requested that anybody having knowledge of any potential objects submerged or moored on the seabed, within the survey area, that could be damaged or form a hazard to the vessel and its equipment advises BFS of their position and nature. When operations commence a listening watch will be maintained on VHF Channel 12 and 16.
