SUBMARINE CABLES AND PIPELINES

Mariners are reminded not to anchor, trawl or carry out any
activities affecting the seabed in the vicinity of submarine cables
and pipelines. Mariners risk prosecution if they damage submarine
cables or pipelines.

Submarine cables additional to those charted may exist. Repaired
sections of submarine cables may lie a distance away from the
charted submarine cable positions. Mariners are also warned that the
seafloor where cables were originally buried may have changed and
cables become exposed.

Submarine pipelines are not always buried, and their presence may
significantly reduce the charted depth. Submarine pipelines may
also span seabed undulations and cause fishing gear to become
irrecoverably snagged, putting a vessel in severe danger. Gas from a
damaged submarine pipeline could cause an explosion, loss of a
vessel's buoyancy or other serious hazard. See The Mariners's
Handbook.

In Indonesian water, anchoring, fishing, trawling and any seabed
activities are prohibited within 500 metres of a submarine gas
pipeline. Mariners are also advised not to anchor or trawl within
1750 metres from the submarine cables and pipelines in Indonesian
waters
