Dredging work at the Port of Teignmouth increases depth of shipping channel for larger ships

The shipping channel serving the Port of Teignmouth has been deepened following works funded and delivered by the Teignmouth Harbour Commission.

Works to deepen the shipping channel serving the Port of Teignmouth have recently been completed, now allowing larger draughted ships to enter the port and increasing the window when current ships that use the port can come and go.

The works, which were funded and delivered by the Teignmouth Harbour Commission, have ensured the port’s future so it can accommodate newer bigger short sea shipping vessels and increase the volume of cargo passing through the port.

The work was conducted by Danish company Rohde Nielsen Dredging whose Trailing Suction Hopper Dredger Modi R and her associated equipment was ideally suited to the confines of the Teignmouth Harbour.
