This area is bounded by straight lines joining the following coordinates (WGS 84 Datum) from (A) to (K) and the adjacent shoreline:
(A) 22° 22.840’N / 113° 58.085’E
(B) 22° 22.821’N / 113° 58.080’E
(C) 22° 22.874’N / 113° 58.041’E
(D) 22° 22.962’N / 113° 58.043’E
(E) 22° 23.032’N / 113° 58.064’E
(F) 22° 23.086’N / 113° 58.102’E
(G) 22° 23.130’N / 113° 58.143’E
(H) 22° 23.178’N / 113° 58.192’E

(K) 22° 23.181’N / 113° 58.239’E

Works Area 2
This area is bounded by straight lines joining the following coordinates (WGS 84 Datum) from (L) to (Q) and the adjacent shoreline
(L) 22° 22.827’N / 113° 58.029’E
(M) 22° 22.831’N / 113° 58.040’E
(N) 22° 22.849’N / 113° 58.041’E
(P) 22° 22.801’N / 113° 58.076’E
(Q) 22° 22.756’N / 113° 58.065’E

The works will be carried out by three flat-top barges and one hopper barge. One tugboat will provide assistance. Vessels engaged in the works will display signals as prescribed in international and local regulations.3. 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 vessels.

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.

Silt curtains, which are large pieces of netting to contain mud and sediments extending from the sea surface to the seabed will be established within the works areas. Yellow marker buoys fitted with yellow flashing lights will be laid to mark the extent of the silt curtains.

Vessels navigating in the vicinity should proceed with caution.
