Marine works at the Black Point Power Station

For approximately 13 months, marine works involving reinstatement of seawall for modification of a cooling water intake will be carried out in the area bounded by straight lines joining the following co-ordinates (WGS 84 Datum) from (A) to (D) and the adjacent shoreline:
(A) 22 deg. 24.672’N / 113 deg. 54.355’E
(B) 22 deg. 24.687’N / 113 deg. 54.338’E
(C) 22 deg. 24.726’N / 113 deg. 54.378’E
(D) 22 deg. 24.710’N / 113 deg. 54.396’E

The works will be carried out by one derrick lighter. One tugboat will provide assistance.

A working area of approximately 20 metres will be established around the derrick lighter. Yellow marker buoys fitted with yellow flashing lights will be laid to mark the positions of the anchors extending from the derrick lighter.

Silt curtains, extending from the sea surface to the seabed, will be established within the works area. The silt curtain is a large piece of netting used to contain mud and sediments. Yellow flashing lights will be fitted to the silt curtains to mark their extents.

The hours of work will be from 0800 to 1800 hours. Vessels employed for the works will not 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.
