Rosmorport plans to dredge 23.8 mln cbm of material this year

Rosmorport is going to dredge 23.8 mln cbm of material in 2016. According to IAA PortNews correspondent, this has been announced today by Andrei Lavrishchev, Executive Director of FSUE Rosmorport, at the 3rd International Forum of Dredging Companies organized by Media-Group PortNews. 

According to him, the scope of dredging works for construction of new facilities is to make 11.8 mln cbm of material, maintenance dredging - 12 mln cbm. The scope of maintenance dredging performed with the Company’s own resources is to make 6.1 mln cbm. 

Andrei Lavrishchev says the Company will get 4 new dredgers this year. This will let Rosmorport execute up to 60% of maintenance dredging with its own resources without subcontracting. According to Andrei Lavrishchev, it is 1.5-2 times more efficient for Rosmorport to use its own dredging fleet instead of the subcontractors’ fleet. 

The scope of dredging works in Sabetta makes 68.6 mln cbm in 2014-2017, Bronka – 10.4 mln cbm in 2014-17, Kaliningrad – 1.5 mln cbm, Vanino (coal terminal at Muchke Bay) – 1.5 mln cbm in 2017-19, Sukhodol - 7 mln cbm in 2017-21, Kzmino – 0.32 mln cbm in 2015-16, Taman – 45.4 mln cbm in 2017-30.
