The works will be carried out by one cable laying barge. Two tugboats 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 50 metres around the cable laying barge will be established. Yellow marker buoys fitted with yellow flashing lights will be laid to mark the positions of the anchors extending from the cable laying barge.
The hours of work will be round-the-clock.
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 area at slow speed, bearing in mind there are divers working in the area.
