Establishment of silt curtain at Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter

26 Nov 2020 / Hong Kong

For approximately 3 months, a silt curtain, extending from the sea surface to the seabed, will be established within the area bounded by straight lines joining the following co-ordinates (WGS 84 Datum) from (A) to (C) and the adjacent shoreline:
(A) 22°17.054’N / 114°11.175’E
(B) 22°17.077’N / 114°11.251’E
(C) 22°17.072’N / 114°11.253’E

The silt curtain is a large piece of netting used to contain mud and sediments. Yellow marker buoys fitted with yellow flashing lights will be laid to mark the extent of the silt curtain.

Diving operations will be carried out from time to time during the laying and removing of the silt curtain.

Vessels navigating in the vicinity should proceed with caution and keep clear of the silt curtain at slow speed, bearing in mind there are divers working around the silt curtain.
