For approximately 2 months, marine site investigation works involving drilling of boreholes and cone penetration tests will be carried out in the area bounded by straight lines joining (A) to (B), (B) to (C) and (D) to (E), and shorelines in-between these straight lines.

The co-ordinates (WGS84 Datum) of (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E) are as follows:
(A) 22 deg. 25.402’N / 113 deg. 55.655’E
(B) 22 deg. 25.421’N / 113 deg. 55.697’E
(C) 22 deg. 25.414’N / 114 deg. 55.748’E

(E) 22 deg. 25.239’N / 114 deg. 55.669’E

The works will be carried out by one jack-up barge. One tug and one work boat 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 metres around the jack-up barge will be established. Yellow flashing lights will be installed at the four corners of the barge to indicate the position of the barge.

The hours of work will be from 0800 hours to 1800 hours from Monday to Saturday. Vessels employed for the works will stay in the works area outside the hours of work.

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

Vessels navigating in the vicinity should proceed with caution.
