Yellow marker buoys fitted with yellow flashing lights will be laid to mark the boundary of the works area at coordinates from (C) to (L).

The works will be carried out by one work boat, two crane barges, two roro barges, and two derrick lighters. Three tugboats will provide assistance. The number of vessels engaged in the works will change from time to time to suit operational requirements. Vessels engaged in the works will display signals as prescribed in international and local regulations.

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 remain in the works area outside the hours of work.

A working area of approximately 50 meters around the working vessels will be established. Yellow marker buoys fitted with yellow flashing lights will be laid to mark the positions of the anchors extending from the working vessels.

Silt curtains, which are large pieces of netting used to contain mud and sediment extending from the sea surface to the seabed, will be established within the works area. Yellow marker buoys fitted with yellow flashing lights will be laid to mark the extent of the silt curtains.

Diving operations will be carried out from time to time during the hours of work. Vessels navigating in the vicinity should proceed with caution and keep clear of the works area at slow speed, bearing in mind that diving operations are taking place in the area.
