Marine Works off East of Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre

For approximately 10 months, marine works involving dredging, converting existing sloping seawall to vertical seawall, demolition of ferry pier will be carried out in the area bounded by straight lines joining the following co-ordinates (WGS 84 Datum) from (A) to (C) and the adjacent shorelines:
(A) 22 deg. 17.023'N / 114 deg. 10.462'E
(B) 22 deg. 17.008'N / 114 deg. 10.527'E
(C) 22 deg. 16.958'N / 114 deg. 10.531'E

The works will be carried out by one grab dredger, one split hopper barge, one derrick barge, one crane barge and one semi-submersible barge. One tug and one guard boat will provide assistance.

A working area of approximately 50 metres around the grab 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 grab dredger.

Several silt curtains, extending from the sea surface to the seabed, will be established within the works area. Each silt curtain is a large piece of netting used to contain mud and sediments. Yellow markers fitted with yellow flashing lights will be laid to mark the extents of the silt curtains.

The hours of work will be from 0700 to 2300 hours. No works will be carried out on Sundays and Public Holidays. Vessels engaged in 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.
