PSE Kinsale Energy Limited will be carrying out debris clearance activities in the Celtic Sea from this Thursday 1 June for an estimated duration of 25 days, subject to weather and operational constraints.

The works will take place at locations of previously decommissioned infrastructure on the Kinsale Head and Seven Heads Gas Fields and will be conducted by the construction support vessel Dina Star (callsign LDJG3) using subsea construction equipment.

The Dina Star will operate during day and night hours and will display appropriate lights and signals.

All other vessels, particularly those engaged in fishing, are requested to give the Dina Star a wide berth during the operations and keep a sharp lookout in the relevant areas. The vessel can be contacted on VHF Channel 13.

Coordinates, a map and contact details can be found in Marine Notice No 33 of 2023 attached below.
