Dredged materials will be transported to the designated dumping ground by 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 dredger and hopper barges when required to clear the basin for vessels to berth or unberth.

The dredger will maintain a safety radius of 50 metres from moored vessels.

Safety boats will be deployed to warn other craft in the vicinity of the working area.

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 25 (Pasir Panjang Control); and

e) Communicate with Pasir Panjang Control on VHF Channel 25 for assistance, if required.
