(A) 22 deg. 21.214’N / 113 deg. 53.249’E
(B) 22 deg. 21.294’N / 113 deg. 53.250’E
(C) 22 deg. 21.294’N / 113 deg. 53.349’E
(D) 22 deg. 21.248’N / 113 deg. 53.349’E

The works will be carried out by one crane barge and one flat top barge. One tugboat and one guard 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 barge. Yellow marker buoys fitted with yellow flashing lights will be laid to mark the positions of the anchors extending from the barges.

The hours of work will be from 0700 to 1900 hours. No works will be carried out on Sundays and public holidays. Vessels employed for the works will stay in the works area outside the hours of work.

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