(A) 22 deg. 17.135’N / 114 deg. 10.945’E
(B) 22 deg. 17.099’N / 114 deg. 10.999’E
WORKS AREA 2
This area is bounded by straight lines joining the following co-ordinates (WGS 84 Datum) (C) to (D), (E) to (J) with the adjacent shoreline and the breakwater respectively:
(C) 22 deg. 17.221’N / 114 deg. 11.248’E
(D) 22 deg. 17.257’N / 114 deg. 11.278’E

(F) 22 deg. 17.069’N / 114 deg. 11.169’E
(G) 22 deg. 17.079’N / 114 deg. 11.162’E
(H) 22 deg. 17.113’N / 114 deg. 11.050’E

(J) 22 deg. 17.140’N / 114 deg. 10.983’E
The works will be carried out by a flotilla of vessels including five derrick barges, two hopper barges, four tugboats and two work boats. The number of vessels engaged in the works will change from time to time to suit operational requirements.
A working area of approximately 15 metres around each barge will be established. Yellow marker buoys fitted with yellow flashing lights will be laid to mark the positions of the anchors extending from the barges.
Silt curtains 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 2300 hours. No works 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 operations will display signals as prescribed in international and local regulations.
Vessels navigating in the vicinity should proceed with caution.
