Floating barriers across Starling Inlet

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.

The outer section is formed by the floating barrier adjoining the following coordinates from (a) to (c): (WGS84)

(a) Position (A): 22 deg 32.400' N / 114 deg 14.310' E

(b) buoy PN-STK4: 22 deg 32.410' N / 114 deg 14.100' E

(c) buoy PN-STK3: 22 deg 32.364' N / 114 deg 14.040' E

The inner section is formed by the floating barrier adjoining the following
coordinates from (d) to (f): (WGS84)

(d) Position (B): 22 deg 32.620' N / 114 deg 13.580' E

(e) buoy PN-STK1: 22 deg 32.410' N / 114 deg 13.900' E

(f) buoy PN-STK2: 22 deg 32.425' N / 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 0400 hours daily. Advance arrangements for transit or inquiries may also be made.

The mooring buoys may be lit or unlit subject to the police operational requirements. Vessels navigating in the vicinity are advised to proceed with caution and pay special
attention to the instructions given by the police on site.
