Seabed levelling underway in Port of Burnie

TasPorts said that the work on seabed levelling in the Port of Burnie is underway.

According to their official statement, these works are part of TasPorts’ short-term dredge management approach for the Port of Burnie to maintain the port’s declared depths.

The program, which started yesterday, is being carried out near at berths 5, 6 and 9 and is expected to take around three weeks to complete.

TasPorts said that the works are being done from a dredging barge on the surface of the water and is not expected to impact on port users and will work around scheduled shipping.
