Marine works east of airport

For approximately 4 months, marine works involving diving operations, demolition of temporary jetty and reinstatement of seawall will be carried out within 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. 19.122’N / 113 deg. 56.888’E
(B) 22 deg. 19.130’N / 113 deg. 56.860’E
(C) 22 deg. 19.207’N / 113 deg. 56.884’E
(D) 22 deg. 19.199’N / 113 deg. 56.912’E

The works will be carried out by two derrick lighters. Two flat top barges and two tugboats will provide assistance.

Yellow marker buoys fitted with yellow flashing lights will be laid to mark the positions of the anchors extending from 15 metres from the derrick lighters.

Silt curtains, extending from the sea surface to the seabed, will be established around the boundary of the works area. The silt curtain is a large piece of netting used to contain mud and sediments. Yellow marker buoys fitted with yellow flashing lights will be laid to mark the extent of the silt curtains.

The hours of work will be round-the-clock.

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

Vessels navigating in the vicinity should proceed with caution and keep clear of the works area at slow speed, bearing in mind there are divers working in the area.
