South Australia’s Department of Infrastructure and Transport has just announced that dredging is about to begin in Port Adelaide, both Inner and Outer Harbour.
Starting in late March / early April, the dredge works are expected to be completed by the end of May 2023.
The contractor for this project – Rhode Neilsen – will be using their trailer suction hopper dredger (TSHD) MODI R and support vessel Molly Grace.
Dredging of the Outer Harbor, shipping channel and the swing basin will allow modern big ships to berth at the port safely.
