Taking part in the project are hopper dredge ‘Viking R’, plough / seabed levelling tug ‘Edi’ and trawler ‘Amanda Verne K’.
The purpose of the maintenance programme is to maximise the depth, safety and efficiency of the channels and berths within the port.
Dredging works are usually undertaken twice a year at the Port of Bunbury. A trailer suction dredge removes naturally accumulated sand and silt from the shipping channel and outer harbour berths, and deposits the material at the ocean spoil ground.
