SAVANNAH, GA (AP) -- The Coast Guard will set up a safety zone around the vessel Tern and its over-sized gantry-crane cargo while it moves on the Savannah River.

Starting about 7 a.m. Monday, the safety zone will extend two miles ahead of the vessel and one mile behind it. The zone will be in effect when the Tern enters the river entrance channel and end when the vessel docks at the Garden City Terminal Container Berth Eight.

All vessels are prohibited from entering into this safety zone unless permission has been given by the Coast Guard.
