Construction of Tuen Mun-Chek Lap Kok Link

For approximately 12 months, marine works involving reclamation, diving, tunnel construction and seawall construction will be carried out within the area bounded by straight lines joining the following co-ordinates (WGS84 Datum) from (A) to (H) and the adjacent shoreline: (A) 22 deg. 21.969'N / 113 deg. 56.930'E (B) 22 deg. 21.866'N / 113 deg. 56.995'E (C) 22 deg. 21.477'N / 113 deg. 57.240'E (D) 22 deg. 21.302'N / 113 deg. 57.196'E (E) 22 deg. 21.309'N / 113 deg. 57.117'E (F) 22 deg. 21.400'N / 113 deg. 57.054'E (G) 22 deg. 21.618'N / 113 deg. 56.904'E (H) 22 deg. 21.632'N / 113 deg. 56.867'E Yellow marker buoys fitted with yellow flashing lights and radar reflectors will be laid to mark the boundary of the works area at co-ordinates from (B) to (F). The works will be carried out from a flotilla of vessels including flat top barges, crane barges, hopper barges and dumb steel lighters at various stages. Some tugs 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 each working vessel. 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 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 and keep clear at slow speed, bearing in mind there are divers working in the area.
