Yellow marker buoys fitted with yellow flashing lights and radar reflectors are laid to mark the boundary of the works areas at co-ordinates (C), (H), (I) and (J).

The works will be carried out by a flotilla of vessels including flat top barges, crane barges, hopper barges, derrick barges and landing platforms at various stages. Some tugboats and work boats 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 around each working vessel will be established. Yellow marker buoys fitted with yellow flashing lights will be laid to mark the positions of the anchors extending from the working vessels.

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.
