Repairs to Tai Long Wan Pier, Lantau Island

For approximately 3 months, repair works to the Tai Long Wan Pier will be carried out within the area bounded by straight lines joining the following co-ordinates (WGS 84 Datum) from (A) to (D): (A) 22 deg. 13.056'N / 113 deg. 59.944'E (B) 22 deg. 12.981'N / 114 deg. 00.029'E (C) 22 deg. 12.899'N / 113 deg. 59.968'E (D) 22 deg. 12.960'N / 113 deg. 59.872'E The works will be carried out by one derrick lighter. One flat-top pontoon, one backhoe pontoon, one tug and one work 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 30 metres will be established around the derrick lighter. Yellow marker buoys fitted with yellow flashing lights will be laid to mark the positions of the anchors extending from the derrick lighter. The hours of work will be from 0700 to 1900 hours. Vessels employed for the works will stay in the works area outside the hours of work. 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 lights will be laid to mark the extent of the silt curtain. Vessels engaged in the operations will display signals as prescribed in international and local regulations. Vessels navigating in the vicinity should proceed with caution.
