Silt curtains fitted with yellow flashing lights [are] established within the works areas. The silt curtain is a large piece of netting used to contain mud and sediments.
The hours of work [are] from 0800 to 1800 hours. No works [are being] carried out on Sundays and public holidays. The lighter and barge employed for the works stay in the works areas outside the hours of work.
Diving operations [are being] carried out from time to time during the hours of work.
Vessels engaged in the operations display signals as prescribed in international and local regulations.
Vessels navigating in the vicinity should proceed with caution and keep clear of the works areas at slow speed, bearing in mind there are divers working in the areas.
