Four-week unloading of pre-cast units off near Wan Chai ferry pier
DURING a four week period starting from January 2 the unloading of pre-cast units for seawall construction will be carried out 100 metres west of the Wan Chai Ferry Pier marked by yellow marker buoys fitted with flashing lights at the coordinates from A to D.
Vessels near the vicinity are advised to slow and remain at safe distance from operations, warned the Hong Kong Marine Department. The work will take place 24/7 with diving operations taking place from time to time.
The area is bounded by straight lines joining the following coordinates (WGS 84 Datum) as follows: (A) 22 deg. 17.440'N / 114 deg. 10.801'E (B) 22 deg. 17.319'N / 114 deg. 10.839'E (C) 22 deg. 17.248'N / 114 deg. 10.580'E (D) 22 deg. 17.348'N / 114 deg. 10.537'E
A flotilla of vessels which include two crane barges, one semi submersible barge, three tugs, one work boat and some guard boats will be engaged in the task allowing a 50 metre working area around each barge with further yellow marker buoys employed.
The work involves the unloading of precast units and towing to the site about 100 metres west of Wan Chai Ferry Pier for seawall construction, said the Marine Department.
