The works [are being] carried out by one tugboat and one work boat. A working area of approximately 50 metres [is] established around the tugboat. Yellow marker buoys fitted with yellow flashing lights [are] laid to mark the positions of the anchors extending from the tugboat.
Silt curtains, extending from the sea surface to the seabed, [are] re-arranged around the boundary of each works area to suit operational requirements. The silt curtain is a large piece of netting used to contain mud and sediments. Yellow markers buoys fitted with yellow flashing lights will be laid to mark the extent of the silt curtains.
The hours of work [are] round-the-clock.
Vessels engaged in the operations display signals as prescribed in international and local regulations.
Vessels navigating in the vicinity should proceed with caution.
