Works will be carried out 24 hours daily, including Sundays and Public Holidays. The crafts involved include jack-up barges, passenger boat, safety boats, tug boats and work boats. These craft will exhibit the appropriate local and international day and night signals.

Soil investigation work will be carried out by drilling and sampling using a jack-up barge. Tug boats will be used to move the jack-up barges. The safety zone is a circular area of 30m radius centred at the borehole. Safety boats will be deployed in the vicinity to warn other craft about the work.

When in the vicinity of the working area, mariners are reminded to

  • keep well clear of the working barges
  • maintain a proper lookout
  • proceed at slow speed and to navigate with caution
  • maintain a listening watch on VHF Channel 68 (West Control); and
  • communicate with West Control on VHF Channel 68 for assistance, if required.
