The dredging fleet involved in the project on construction of port Sabetta (Yamal) used to consume over 1 mln liters of bunker fuel, IAA PortNews reporter cites Project Manager Sabetta of Jan De Nul N.V. Mr. Stijn Juresic as saying yesterday at the Forum of Dredging Companies organized by media-group PortNews.
According to him, a special vessel was used for supply of food and water, as well as for waste discharge. The personnel worked under a rotation system.
