Personnel and assets from Coast Guard Station Seattle, Port of Seattle Police Department, and Coast Guard Cutter Blue Shark enforce a 500-yard safety zone around Polar Pioneer, an Arctic drilling vessel, as it departs Terminal 5 in Seattle, June 15, 2015. On April 28, the Coast Guard established 100-yard safety zones around Arctic drilling and support vessels while moored or anchored, and a 500-yard safety zone while transiting to allow maximum use of the waterway by all users consistent with safe navigation.
