Port World reports that marine works are set to be undertaken in the Ex-Wan Chai Public Cargo Working Area in Hong Kong Harbour over the next 36 months.
The project is set to involve site investigation, dredging, temporary reclamation, and the construction of a seawall and tunnel.
The works will be carried out by a number of vessels including a jack-up platform, grab dredger, split hopper barge, crane barge, derrick lighter, three tugs and numerous guardboats. The number of vessels engaged in the project will vary to suit operational requirements.
A working area of approximately 50 metres around each working barge will be established, with yellow marker buoys fitted with yellow flashing lights laid to mark the positions of anchors extending from all barges.
A silt curtain, extending from the sea surface to the seabed, will also be established around the dredger. Yellow markers fitted with flashing lights will be laid to mark the extent of the silt curtain. The hours of project work will be from 07.00 to 23.00 hours.
Vessels engaged in the works will display signals as prescribed in international and local regulations. Vessels navigating in the vicinity should proceed with caution.
