A temporary 500-yard exclusion zone for a single oil rig in Corpus Christi

The Coast Guard is creating a temporary moving safety zone around the JOLLIET oil rig. No vessels or people can enter this 500-yard radius without permission while the rig is towed to Aransas Terminals.

This is a routine safety measure for a specific event. It prevents other vessels from getting too close to a large, moving oil rig, reducing the risk of accidents during its transport. These temporary zones are common for large marine operations.
