The works will be carried out by two special purpose vessels, two flat-top work barges and one work boat. One work boat and two tugs will provide assistance. The number of vessels engaged in the works will change from time to time to suit operational requirements. Vessels engaged in the works will display signals as prescribed in international and local regulations.
A working area of approximately 50 metres around each working craft will be established. Yellow marker buoys fitted with yellow flashing lights will be laid to mark the positions of the anchors extending from the working crafts.
Yellow flashing lights will be installed at the four corners of the jack-up barges to indicate their positions.
The hours of work will be from 0800 to 1800 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.
