The works are being carried out by one derrick barge. One work boat, one tugboat and four floating pontoons provide assistance.

A working area of approximately 50 metres around the derrick barge is established. Yellow marker buoys fitted with yellow flashing lights are laid to mark the positions of the anchors extending from the derrick barge.

The hours of work are from 0800 to 1800 hours. No works are carried out on Sundays and public holidays. Vessels employed for the works stay in the works area outside the hours of work.

Diving operations are carried out from time to time during the hours of work.
