The works [are being] carried out by one crane boat. One work boat provides assistance.

A working area of approximately 15 metres around the crane boat is established. Yellow marker buoys fitted with yellow flashing lights are laid to mark the positions of the anchors extending from the crane boat.

The works [are being] carried out from 0800 to 1900 hours. No works [are being] carried out on Sundays and public holidays. Vessels engaged in the works stay close to the dolphins outside the hours of work.
