The works will be carried out by a flotilla of vessels including one special purpose vessel, one dumb lighter, one flat-top barge and two tugboats.
The number of vessels engaged in the works will change from time to time to suit operational requirements.
A working area of approximately 80 metres around the special purpose vessel will be established. Yellow marker buoys fitted with yellow flashing lights will be laid to mark the positions of the anchors extending from the special purpose vessel.
The hours of work will be round-the-clock from Mondays to Saturdays and from 0700 to 2300 hours on Sundays and public holidays.
Vessels employed for the works will stay in the area outside the hours of work.
Diving operations will be carried out from time to time during 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 and keep clear of the area at slow speed, bearing in mind there are divers working in the area.
