With immediate effect and for a period of approximately 6 months, marine works involving barging operations and laying of water pipeline will be carried out in the following areas:
Area 1: This area is bounded by straight lines joining the following coordinates (WGS 84 Datum) from (A) to (D) and the adjacent shoreline:
(A) 22º 12.877’ N / 114º 01.508’ E
(B) 22º 12.967’ N / 114º 01.427’ E
(C) 22º 13.049’ N / 114º 01.501’ E
(D) 22º 12.973’ N / 114º 01.569’ E
Area 2: This area is bounded by straight lines joining the following coordinates (WGS 84 Datum) from (E) to (H) and the adjacent shoreline:
(E) 22º 13.562’ N / 114º 01.052’ E
(F) 22º 13.537’ N / 114º 01.082’ E
(G) 22º 13.499’ N / 114º 01.037’ E
(H) 22º 13.532’ N / 114º 01.013’ E
The works will be carried out by two derrick lighters. Some tugboats 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 50 metres will be established around each working vessel. Yellow marker buoys fitted with yellow flashing lights and radar reflectors will be laid to mark the positions of the anchors extending from the working vessels.
Works will be carried out from 0700 hours to 1900 hours. No works will be carried out on Sundays and public holidays. Vessels employed for the works will stay in the works areas outside the hours of work.
A silt curtain, extending from the sea surface to the seabed, will be established within each works area. The silt curtain is a large piece of netting used to contain mud and sediments. Yellow markers fitted with yellow flashing lights will be laid to mark the extent of the silt curtain.
Vessels engaged in the operations will display signals as prescribed in international and local regulations. Vessels navigating in the vicinity are advised to proceed with caution.
