Soil investigation work will be carried out by means of borehole drilling using jack-up barges. One jack-up barge will be working on only oneborehole at a time. The jack-up barge, with tug boats in attendance, will have a circular safety working zone of 50 meters radius centered at the barge. Tugboats will be used for shifting the barge from one borehole location to another. Safety boats will be deployed in the vicinity of the working area to warn other craft of the project. Craft involved in the works will exhibit the appropriate local and international day and night signals. When in the vicinity of the working area, mariners are reminded to: a) Keep well clear and not to enter the working area ; b) Maintain a proper lookout; c) Proceed at a safe speed and navigate with caution; d) Maintain a listening watch on VHF Channel 22 (Jurong Control); and e) Communicate with Jurong Control on VHF Channel for assistance, if required.
