Maintenance
Aids to Navigation and Mooring Unit (ANMU) maintains 536 aids of which 124 are lighted buoys and the rest are lighted beacons. There is one launch and one small van in the unit for conveying the maintenance teams to various outstations. Helicopter service is provided by Government Flying Services once per two months for visiting to Waglan and Black Point Lighthouses.

Modification Works
To reduce refuelling costs and to employ more renewable energy, the majority of the aids to navigation in Hong Kong waters have been "solarized". At present, about 90% of the major battery-operated aids are powered by solar energy.
Existing flashing mechanisms at various outstations are being replaced by the new types fitted with micro-processors, which enable the maintenance staff to adjust or calibrate the flasher to any desired characteristics on site and hence facilitate future maintenance works.
