All vessels are to be berthed as far to the eastward of the Anchorage as possible, to avoid masking the Military searchlights.

to meet southern boundary.

A line drawn due South (true) from 8-foot rock off S.W. point of Chung Hue to meet southern boundary.

All vessels are to be berthed as far to the westward of the Anchorage as possible, so as to avoid masking the Military searchlights.

Eastern Junk Examination Anchorage. Is in that part of Chung Kwang O (Junk Bay) north of a line drawn from Maun Chau to Bak Sin Kok. (Not marked on Admiralty Charts.)

Western Junk Examination Anchorage.--Is the same for other vessels. Incoming Merchant Vessels are to be admitted to the Examination Anchorage at all times of the day and night, but when the port is closed no Merchant Vessel, except Fleet Auxiliaries and Army Transports, are to be permitted to leave the Examination Anchorage for the purpose of entering the port.

A vessel which has anchored in the Examination Anchorage must not leave the Anchorage by day or night without permission from the Examining Officer. If a vessel wishes to proceed to sea from Anchorage, the fact that she has permission to do so should be signalled to the Examination Battery from the Examination Steamer by the ordinary

means.
