(B) 22 deg. 17.008’N / 114 deg. 11.084’E

(I) 22 deg. 17.064’N / 114 deg. 11.224’E
The works will be carried out by a flotilla of vessels including one grab dredger, four hopper barges, seven derrick barges, some tugs and work boats. The number of vessels engaged in the works will change from time to time to suit operational requirements.
A working area of approximately 15 metres around each barge will be established. Yellow marker buoys fitted with yellow flashing lights will be laid to mark the positions of the anchors extending from the barges.
A working area of approximately 50 metres around the dredger will be established. Yellow marker buoys fitted with yellow flashing lights will be laid to mark the positions of the anchors extending from the dredger.
A silt curtain, 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 markers fitted with yellow flashing light
will be laid to mark the extent of the silt curtain.
The hours of work will be from 0700 to 2300 hours. Vessels employed for the works will stay in the works area outside the hours of work.
Vessels engaged in the works will display signals as prescribed in international and local regulations.
Vessels navigating in the vicinity should proceed with caution.
