(H) 22 deg. 18.940’N / 113 deg. 58.070’E
(I) 22 deg. 18.630’N / 113 deg. 58.390’E

The works will be carried out by one flat top barge. Some tugboats and some work boats will provide assistance. The number of vessels engaged in the works will change from time to time to suit operational requirements.

A working area of approximately 50 metres will be established around the barge. Yellow marker buoys fitted with yellow flashing lights will be laid to mark the positions of the anchors extending from the barge.

The hours of work will be round-the-clock.

Vessels engaged in the operations will display signals as prescribed in international and local regulations.

Vessels navigating in the vicinity should proceed with caution.
