Yellow flashing lights will be installed at the four corners of the jack-up barge to indicate its position.
The hours of work will be from 0700 to 1900 hours. No work will be carried out on Sundays and public holidays. Vessels employed for the works will stay in the works areas outside the hours of work.
Vessels engaged in the works will display signals as prescribed in international and local regulations.
