(L) 22° 22.827’N 113° 58.029’E
(M) 22° 22.831’N 113° 58.040’E

The works will be carried out by one jack-up barge, three flat-top barges and one landing pontoon. One tugboat and one work boat will provide assistance. Vessels engaged in the works will display signals as prescribed in international and local regulations.
A working area of approximately 20 metres will be established around each flat-top barge. Yellow marker buoys fitted with yellow flashing lights will be laid to mark the positions of the anchors extending from the working vessel.
Yellow flashing lights will be installed at the four corners of the jack-up barge to indicate its position.
The hours of work will be from 0700 to 1900 hours daily. No works will be carried out on Sundays and public holidays. Vessels employed for the works will stay in the works areas outside the hours of work.
Diving operations will be carried out from time to time during the hours of work.
Vessels navigating in the vicinity should proceed with caution and keep clear of the works areas at slow speed, bearing in mind that there are divers working in the areas.
