   China MSA 15 November 2019

   
   
   1. Work duration: 16 November 2019 – 30 August 2020.
   2. Work site: waters between work site of CGN Daishan 4# Offshore Wind Plant (Phase I) and Dasyushan, which is bounded by the following 4 points within a range of 200 meters from both sides (2000 National Geodetic Coordinate System):
      1. 30°20′08″N/121°56′43″E;
      2. 30°20′33″N/121°56′08″E;

   4. Cautions:
      1. During the operation, the main work boat will drop horoscopes anchors, each anchor chain is 200 meters in length. The workboats should display visible signs in the place where the anchor chains enter the waters, display regulated lights and shapes in obvious places, keep watch on VHF16 and report the movements of the vessels initiatively.
      2. There are guard ships, “Hu Nan Lao 1”, “Hua Tai 9”, “Zhe Ding 62107” and “Zhe Ding 58014” (contact with VHF16) performing security duties on site, any vessels sailing near the above water areas should obey the command of the on-site guard ships.
