WORKS AREA 2:
This area is bounded by straight lines joining the following co-ordinates (WGS84 Datum) from (E) to (H) and the adjacent jetty:
(E) 22 deg. 21.772’N / 113 deg. 55.663’E

The repair works will be carried out by one derrick barge. One tugboat and one work boat will provide assistance.

A working area of approximately 50 metres around the derrick 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 derrick barge.

The hours of work will be round-the-clock.

Diving operations will be carried out from time to time during the hours of work.

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

Vessels navigating in the vicinity should proceed with caution and keep clear of the works areas at slow speed, bearing in mind there are divers working in the areas.
