  "text": "(This note is not part of the order)\nThis order establishes, under section 22 of the Petroleum Act 1987, safety zones having a radius of 500 metres from the specified point around each installation specified in the Schedule to this order and stationed in waters to which section 21(7) of that Act applies (these include territorial waters and waters in areas designated under section 1(7) of the Continental Shelf Act 1964 (c. 29)) (article 2).\nVessels, which for this purpose include hovercraft, submersible apparatus and installations in transit, are prohibited from entering or remaining in a safety zone except with the consent of the Health and Safety Executive or in accordance with regulations made under section 23(1) of the Act (currently the Offshore Installations (Safety Zones) Regulations 1987/1331).\nThe order corrects errors in respect of the co-ordinates for six installations in the Schedule to the Offshore Installations (Safety Zones) (No. 2) Order 2002/2467, designated as Madoes Production Manifold, Mirren East Production Well, Mirren West Production Well, Galley G6 Well and Tree, Drill Centre 4 (DC4) and Drill Centre 5 (DC5) (article 3).\nThe order revokes three orders establishing safety zones which are no longer required because the installations (Maureen 16/29a-ALC, Maureen 16/29a-A and Hutton TLP respectively) have been removed (article 4).",
