Soil investigation work will be carried out by drilling using jack-up barges held by spuds. Tug boats will be used to move the jack-up barge.

The safety zone is a circular area of 30m radius centred at the borehole.

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 of the borehole points;
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 22 for assistance, if required.
