The works will be carried out by two jack-up barges, two flat-top barges and one dumb lighter. Two tugboats will provide assistance. Vessels engaged in the works will display signals as prescribed in international and local regulations.
A working area of approximately 50 metres around each barge and lighter will be established. Yellow marker buoys fitted with yellow flashing lights will be laid to mark the positions of the anchors extending from the flat-top barges and dumb lighter. Yellow flashing lights will be installed at the four corners of each jack-up barge to indicate its position.
The hours of work will be from 0700 to 1900 hours. 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.
Vessels navigating in the vicinity should proceed with caution.
