(D) 22 deg. 09.654’N / 114 deg. 01.789’E
The works will be carried out by one grab dredger. Some hopper barges and tugs will provide assistance. The number of vessels engaged in the works will change from time to time to suit operational requirements.
A working area of approximately 50 metres will be established around the dredger and hopper barge. Yellow marker buoys fitted with yellow flashing lights will be laid to mark the positions of the anchors extending from the dredger and hopper barge.
The works will be carried out from 0700 hours to 2300 hours. No works will be carried out on Sundays and public holidays. Vessels employed for the works will stay in the works area outside the hours of work.
