Works will be predominately in the north-eastern section of the harbour between the new internal single channel, the RQYS marina and the eastern sea wall. Dredging will be performed by the clam dredger "KEN HARVEY" which will be attended by the tugs "SEALION" and "TURTLE" and two 36 metre spoil barges. Operations will be conducted from Monday to Friday during daylight hours only. The dredge and associated vessels will display the designated lights and signals and will keep a listening watch on VHF channel 13. Two off-shore swing moorings, for the use of the floating plant, will remain established to the north of the Entrance Channel in positions latitude 27° 26.737' S, longitude 153° 12.054' E, and latitude 27° 26.697' S, longitude 153° 12.137' E. Each mooring will be marked by a yellow cylindrical buoy exhibiting a flashing yellow light. The dredger "KEN HARVEY" will be moored using a system of 6 anchors, 4 positioned abeam and 2 ahead and astern, with mooring wires running between the anchors and the dredger. Buoys exhibiting a flashing yellow light will mark the position of the anchors in the channel. Vessels transiting the channel during the working hours will be required to contact the dredger on VHF channel 13, or by other effective means, to request the side mooring wires in the channel be lowered to the seabed whilst they pass the dredger, however dependant on weather and wind conditions these may not be fully slackened, especially when the dredger is not operational. Marina construction activities also continue both to the east and west of the new single channel, adjacent to the RQYS marina and William Gunn Jetty. A temporary port lateral mark Fl R 3s and a temporary starboard lateral mark Fl G 3s have been established to delineate the two development areas from the new single channel boundary. The position of the marks will be varied along the development area boundary to meet operational requirements. Mariners should navigate with caution when operating in the area. Mariners are further advised to pass the works at slow speed with no wash.
