The project, conducted with the trailing suction hopper dredger (TSHD) Sospan Dau, started on April 2.

The amount of dredging required each year is dependent on the weather experienced the previous winter, which affects how much sediment is driven into the harbor’s entrance channel.

Usually, it takes up to two weeks to complete the works and remove anywhere from 15,000 – 30,000m3 of dredged material.
