The works will be carried out by one dumb lighter and one crane boat. One tugboat will provide assistance. Vessels engaged in the works will display signals as prescribed in international and local regulations.
A working area of approximately 40 metres around the lighter will be established. A silt curtain fitted with yellow flashing lights will be established within the works areas. The silt curtain is a large piece of netting used to contain mud and sediments.
The hours of work will be from 0700 to 1900 hours. No works will be carried out on Sundays and public holidays. Vessels employed for the works will not stay in the works areas outside the hours of work.
Diving operations will be carried out from time to time during the hours of work.
Vessels navigating in the vicinity should proceed with caution and keep clear of the works areas at slow speed, bearing in mind that there are divers working in the areas.
