LHT(2020) No. 364
China MSA 12 September 2020
- Work Duration: 12 September 2020 – 30 December 2020.
- Work Unit: Offshore Oil Engineering Co., Ltd.
- Work Boat: “Hai Jian 52” and “Hai Yang Shi You 925”
- Work Site:
- Waters between Submarine Cable KL35-2 CEPA and KL3-2 CEPA in Kenli Oil Field Group: centered by 38°01′37.1306″N/119°36′15.6829″E, with a radius of 500 meters;
- Waters between Submarine Cable KL10-1 CEPA and KL3-2 CEPA in Kenli Oil Field Group: a rectangular water area whose central axis is bounded by Point A (37°56′27.1091″N/119°32′43.0581″E) and Point B (37°56′25.9693″N/119°32′43.7530″E) with a length of 4000m and a width of 1000m.
- Work Mode: Fault Submarine Cable Repair Operation.
- Cautions:
- The workboats should exhibit corresponding signals as regulated, strengthen duty, keep watch on VHF 24 hours a day, contact with passing vessels without delay to ensure safety.
- Passing vessels should strengthen lookout, strengthen contact with workboats, sail cautiously, pay attention to identification of the signals and keep a safe distance with the workboats.
- Fault Emergency Repair on S4 of the APG Submarine Optical Fiber Cables in Changjiang Estuary
(Sloma Translation)
HHH (2020) No. 390
China MSA 21 September 2020
- Work duration: 21 September 2020 – 20 November 2020, day-night operation.
- Work site: Water areas near Lvhuashan of Changjiang Estuary, bounded by the following four points in order:
A、30°52′29.94″N/122°20′08.82″E;
B、30°52′50.16″N/122°33′15.12″E;

D、30°51′57.12″N/122°20′08.88″E.
- Work mode: Workboat “Feng Yang Hai Gong” (LOA: 57.6m, molded breadth: 22.0m) or “Tian Yi Hai Gong” (LOA: 76.0m, molded breadth: 22.0m) will detect the fault location, salvage and cut off the defective cable, splice, lay and repair the cable, bury and repair the cable along route of S4 of APG submarine optical fiber cable in the work site. During the operation, the navigation speed of the workboat is relatively slow.
- Cautions:
- The workboat should exhibit lights and shapes as regulated, display visible marks where the anchors enter the waters during daytime, light up the location at nighttime, keep AIS on normally.
- The workboat should strengthen watch on VHF16 and report movement of the vessels and contact with the passing vessels voluntarily and implement security works.
- Passing vessels should keep a safe distance with the workboat, sail cautiously and pay attention to the avoidance.
- The operation should be suspended in case the wind force is greater than 7 or the visibility is less than 1 sea mile.
- Fault Emergency Repair on S3 of the NCP (New Crossing-Pacific Cable System) in East China Sea
