Four mooring buoys with marks PN-STK1, PN-STK2, PN-STK3 and PN-STK4 had been laid to form two sections of floating barriers, namely the outer section and inner section, in the Starling Inlet.

(i) The outer section is formed by the floating barrier adjoining the following coordinates from (a) to (c): (WGS84)
(a) position (A): Lat 22 deg. 32.400’N / Long. 114 deg. 14.310’E
(b) buoy PN-STK4: Lat 22 deg. 32.410’N / Long 114 deg. 14.100’E
(c) buoy PN-STK3: Lat 22 deg. 32.364’N / Long 114 deg. 14.040’E

(ii) The inner section is formed by the floating barrier adjoining the following coordinates from (d) to (f): (WGS84)
(d) position (B): Lat 22 deg. 32.620’N / Long. 114 deg. 14.580’E

(c) buoy PN-STK2: Lat 22 deg. 32.425’N / Long 114 deg. 14.010’E

There will be a navigable passage of 100 metres maintained between the outer and inner sections of the barriers for vessel movements. Police launches are in attendance at the entrance. The barriers would be closed from 0001 hours to 0600 hours daily.
