Dredging works will be carried out by dredgers, which will be held in position by 3 spuds system. There will be a circular safety zone of 70-metres radius centred around the dredger. Dredged materials will be transported to the designated dumping ground by the barges, which will be assisted by pusher tugs.
During the operation, the dredgers and barges will be attended by tug boats which will also be used to shift the dredgers and hopper barges, when required to clear the fairway for vessels to berth or unberth.
Safety boats will be deployed to warn other craft in the vicinity of the working area.
Craft involved in the works will exhibit the appropriate local and international day and night signals.
When in the vicinity of the working area, mariners are reminded to:
a) Keep well clear from the dredger;
b) Maintain a proper lookout;
c) Proceed at a safe speed and navigate with caution;
d) Maintain a listening watch on VHF Channel 22 (Jurong Control);
and
e) Communicate with Jurong Control on VHF Channel 22 for assistance, if required.
