SECTION 6 SAFETY ZONES
在離岸風場的施工、維護和除役階段，需要一定的安全區以保障其他海洋使用者和離岸風場設施與人員的安全。然而，由於法規的不完善，安全區的劃設僅由離岸風電開發及營運業者單方面決定後，函請航港局發佈航船布告。為增進兩個部門之間的良好互動、實現共存，本指南建議離岸風電開發及營運業者應本著「比例原則」（或稱「最小侵害原則」）之精神劃設安全區，並與漁業利害關係人協商互相認可的安全區劃設技術規範。
During the construction, maintenance, and decommissioning phases of an offshore wind farm, certain safety zones are required to ensure the safety of other marine users and the offshore wind farm facilities and personnel. However, due to imperfect regulations, the delineation of safety zones is solely determined by offshore wind developers and operators. Then, the Maritime Port Bureau is requested to issue a Notice to Mariners. To enhance the positive interaction between the two sectors and achieve coexistence, this Guidance suggests that offshore wind developers and operators should delineate safety zones in the spirit of the “proportionality principle” (or “principle of least harm”) and negotiate mutually recognized safety zone delineation technical specifications with fisheries stakeholders.
