Soil investigation works will be carried out by means of sinking boreholes from the jack up barge. A working radius of 30m around the jack-up barge is required. Tugboats will be used for shifting the jack up barge between the boreholes. A safety boat will be deployed to warn other craft to keep clear of the platform for the works.

When in the vicinity of the working area, mariners are reminded to:

a) Keep well clear of the working area;

b) Maintain a proper lookout;

c) Proceed at a safe speed and to navigate with caution;

d) Maintain a listening watch on VHF Channel 22 (Jurong Control); and

e) Communicate with Jurong Control for assistance, if required.
