Start dredging at the Port of Coatzacoalcos
August 09, 2011
With a length of 129 meters and a capacity of 9,500 m3 hopper, arrived on August 8th to pier #2 of the Port Authority, the dredger "HAM 316".
This boat will perform the dredging construction works of Pajaritos Lagoon, into the infrastructure development project of the Port Area, with what the recently completed dock may be operable.
It is owned by Van Oord de México S.A. de C.V., winner of the tender, wich will add a second dredger with a new process of water injection, for the annual maintenance work of the Coatzacoalcos River.
The dredger "HAM 316" is the largest and with more capacity that the Port has received, as a result of changes in the requirements that this entity established in the bidding for dredging this year.
It should be noted that the rains last year caused the decline in official draft, due to rainfall over 411 mm, the largest historically recorded in the city in a single day; because of that, the port of Coatzacoalcos ... bulk cargo leader in México, faces up the silt which are caused in this season of rains and hurricanes with a better equipment.
