If all goes according to schedule, the Albatros will complete Eastland Port campaign by Sunday evening.
“From time to time we need to bring in a higher volume dredge such as the Albatros to do catch-up dredging and augment the work of the Port’s dredge, Pukunui,” the port officials said. “This is routine work that we do annually.”
The Dutch-owned Albatros is stationed in New Zealand where it undertakes regular maintenance dredging campaigns.
She is working throughout the country including ports at Napier, Tauranga, Taranaki, Lyttleton, and Timaru.
