Aggregate Unloading - Thursday/Friday 11/12th September

The coaster MV River Trader arrived in St Mary’s this morning Thursday 11th September
with a cargo of aggregates for the additional island road projects.

The offloading operations have been planned to commence as soon as the quay quietens
down this afternoon Thursday 11th September after the departure of the Scillonian at 4:30
pm (1630). We will commence bringing equipment through the town between this time and 5
pm (1700). The plant moving into position will be the wheeled excavator and tractors with
empty trailers. Movement of loaded vehicles is expected to commence between 5:30 and
6:00 pm (1730 – 1800).

If we are unable to complete the off-loading in 1 night we will continue on the evening of
Friday 12th September starting at the same time as Thursday night.

Additionally on Friday 12th the landing craft MV Arromanches will berth at 8:00 am to offload
a cargo of bitumen boxes. This expected to take 2 to 3 hours. The bitumen will be hauled by
the local carriers on their lorries.

The route for the tractors and trailers will be the same as on previous occasions and starts at
the Quay, via Hugh Street, Church Street, the Old School, Telegraph Road, Parting Carn
Farm and to the site. The return journey will be the same with the empty trailers passing
along the Strand rather than Church Street.

On Thursday evening we aim to operate 7 tractors and trailers which run in 3 pairs and one
running singly whilst the bulk of the material is offloaded. Provided there are no mechanical
or tide problems this sequence is likely to continue up to 2 am (Friday) 0200. Thereafter the
numbers of tractors and trailers will decrease as the cargo in in the ship diminishes. Please
note this time is approximate.

Lagan Construction Ltd sincerely apologises for any disturbance this essential operation causes and
thanks you in advance for your continuing co-operation and forbearance.
