The works [are being] carried out by one grab dredger. Three tugboats, three hopper barges and one survey boat assist in the works. The number of vessels engaged in the works change from time to time to suit operational requirements.
A working area of approximately 50 metres around the grab dredger is established. Yellow marker buoys fitted with yellow flashing lights [are] laid to mark the positions of the anchors extending from the grab dredger.
A silt curtain, extending from the sea surface to the seabed, [is] established beside the grab dredger. The silt curtain is a large piece of netting used to contain mud and sediments. Yellow flashing lights [are] laid to mark the extent of the silt curtain.
The hours of work [are] round-the-clock.
Vessels engaged in the operations display signals as prescribed in international and local regulations.
Vessels navigating in the vicinity should proceed with caution.
