PIPELINES

Mariners are advised not to anchor or trawl in the vicinity of pipelines. Pipelines are not always
buried and their presence may significantly reduce the charted depth. They may also span seabed
undulations and cause fishing gear to become irrecoverably snagged, putting a vessel in severe danger.
Anchoring and trawling are prohibited within 500m of all submarine pipelines in Qatari waters.
