NAVIGATION MARK POST IN EAST LAMMA CHANNEL
The Government will build a navigation mark post at Pollux Rock in
the East Lamma Channel to improve safety for vessels passing through there.
The rock lies outside the normal route for local vessels sailing
between Aberdeen and Sulphur Channel and is close to shore south of Wah Fu
Estate.
However the navigation mark will warn vessels of possible damage when
they sail off-course to avoid other vessels.
For the construction of this mark post, a work area of about 10,000
sq. ft. will have to be marked off.
The extent of the area involved is described in a notice published in
the Gazette today and posted on notice boards in both English and Chinese
near the site.
Anyone who has objections to the project or has any clain of private
right should write to the Director of Public Works within the next two months.
Work on the construction of the navigation mark post is expected to
take about four months.
