The FSUE Rosmorport’s Makhachkala regional branch commenced today, Aug 5 maintenance dredging in the operating basin near the construction Berth No. 6 at the Port of Makhachkala, Rosmorport said.

The regional branch deployed its own excavator with a boom length of 8.2 m, a dredging pump with cutter head to perform dredging works directly from the berth.

Rosmorport plans to dredge more than 1200 cbm of materials on the territory of 0.07 ha to deepen the basin to the -5.5m mark.

The dredge material will be transported through a pipeline to the coastal dump at a distance of 150 m.

Dredging works are carried out by the Makhachkala branch in accordance with the approved design documentation for maintenance dredging to keep the design depths of the basin and approach channels of the seaport of Makhachkala for the period 2019-2028.
