#VOLVO OCEAN RACE – Only those Passenger Vessels in possession of plying limits specifically listing Galway as a point of departure may operate during the Volvo Ocean Race finish in Galway according to a Marine Notice published this week (dowloadable below) by the Marine Survey Office (MSO).
Owners of vessels normally located outside the Galway Bay region may operate during the event in the Galway Bay region, but they must have applied to the Chief Surveyor for, and been granted, a temporary change of operating plying limits.
The MSO expects the event will attract significant numbers, including a large fleet of spectator boats and sightseeing charter vessels to the area.
The full notice is available for download below.
