The works [are being] carried out by one flat top barge and one jack-up platform. One tugboat will provide assistance. The number of vessels engaged in the works changes from time to time to suit operational requirements.

A working area of approximately 80 metres around the flat top barge is established. Yellow marker buoys fitted with yellow flashing lights are laid to mark the positions of the anchors extending from the barge.

Yellow flashing lights are installed at the four corners of the jack-up platform to indicate its position.

The hours of work are from 0700 hours to 1900 hours from Monday to Saturday. Vessels employed for the works stay in the works locations outside the hours of work.

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

Vessels navigating in the vicinity should proceed with caution.
