Dredging work off Hong Kong Coliseum, Hung Hom to take 13 weeks
VESSELS navigating in the vicinity of Hong Kong Coliseum, Hung Hom should proceed with caution because dredging operations and modification of the finger pier will be carried out over the next 13 months.
The works will be carried out by a flotilla of vessels including one grab dredger, two hopper barges, two derrick barges, one guard boat and one tug, said the Hong Kong Marine Department.
The number of vessels engaged in the works will change from time to time to suit operational requirements.
A working area of 50 metres around the dredger and barges will be established. Yellow marker buoys fitted with yellow flashing lights will be laid to mark the positions of the anchors extending from the dredger and barges.
The hours of work will be from 7am to 11pm daily including Sundays and public holidays. Vessels employed for the works will stay in the works area outside the hours of work.
Silt curtains, extending from the sea surface to the seabed, will be established within the works area. Yellow markers fitted with yellow flashing lights will be laid to mark the extent of the silt curtain.
Vessels engaged in the operations will display signals as prescribed in international and local regulations.
