Maintenance dredging at Castle Peak Power Station jetty, Tap Shek Kok

For approximately 12 months, dredging operations will be carried out within the area bounded by straight lines joining the following co-ordinates (WGS 84 Datum) from (A) to (f) and the adjacent jetty:
(A) 22 deg. 22.311’N / 113 deg. 55.127’E
(B) 22 deg. 22.272’N / 113 deg. 55.087’E
(C) 22 deg. 22.197’N / 113 deg. 55.171’E
(D) 22 deg. 22.158’N / 113 deg. 55.130’E
(E) 22 deg. 22.384’N / 113 deg. 54.879’E
(F) 22 deg. 22.462’N / 113 deg. 54.959’E

The works will be carried out by one grab dredger. Two split hopper barges and two tugboats will provide assistance. The number of vessels engaged in the works will change from time to time to suit operational requirements.

A working area of approximately 50 metres around the grab dredger will be established. Yellow marker buoys fitted with yellow flashing lights will be laid to mark positions of the anchors extending from the dredger.

The hours of work will be around-the-clock.

Several silt curtains will be established within the works area. The silt curtain is a large piece of netting used to contain mud and sediments. Yellow marker buoys fitted with yellow flashing lights will be laid to mark the extent of the silt curtains.

Vessels engaged in the operations will display signals as prescribed in international and local regulations.

Vessels navigating in the vicinity should proceed with caution.
