For approximately six months, dredging operations will be carried out within the area bounded by straight lines joining the following co-ordinates (WGS 84 Datum) from (A) to (G) and the adjacent shoreline:
(A) 22°25.439’N 113°55.770’E
(B) 22°25.431’N 113°55.681’E
(C) 22°25.473’N 113°55.664’E
(D) 22°25.538’N 113°55.842’E
(E) 22°25.537’N 113°55.937’E
(F) 22°25.614’N 113°56.167’E
(G) 22°25.578’N 113°56.181’E
The works will be carried out by one grab dredger. Two hopper barges and two tugboats will assist in the works. The number of vessels engaged in the works will change from time to time to suit operational requirements.
A working area of approximately 60 metres around the dredger will be established. Yellow marker buoys fitted with yellow flashing lights will be laid to mark the positions of the anchors extending from the dredger.
A silt curtain will be established beside the dredger. The silt curtain is a large piece of netting used to contain mud and sediments. Yellow flashing lights will be laid to mark the extent of the silt curtain.
The hours of work will be from 0800 to 2000 hours daily. Vessels employed for the works will stay in the works area outside the hours of work.
Vessels engaged in the works will display signals as prescribed in international and local regulations.
