The works will be carried out by two jack-up barges and three flat top barges. Some tugboats and work boats 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 25 meters around each jack-up barge will be established. Yellow flashing lights will be installed at the four corners of each barge to indicate the position of the barge.
A working area of approximately 100 meters around each flat top barge will be established. Yellow marker buoys fitted with yellow flashing lights will be laid to mark the positions of the anchors extending from the barges.
The hours of work will be round-the-clock.
Vessels engaged in the operations will display signals as prescribed in international and local regulations.
Vessels navigating in the vicinity should proceed with caution.
