A working area of approximately 15 metres around each dumb lighter will be established. Yellow marker buoys fitted with yellow flashing lights will be laid to mark the positions of the anchors extending from the dumb lighters.
The hours of work will be from 0700 to 2300 hours daily including Sundays and public holidays. Vessels employed for the works will stay in the works area outside the hours of work
