Rohde Nielsen nabs Klaipeda dredging contract January 18, 2021, by Eldin Ganic
Klaipeda State Seaport Authority has signed a contract for the dredging works of the shipping canal up to 15 meters.
The European Union assigned 17.3 million euros to implement the project. The work will be performed by the Danish dredging company Rohde Nielsen A/S.
It is not the first big project implemented by the Danes in Klaipeda Port – Rohde Nielsen A/S conducted deepening operations in these areas during 2011-2013.
When the depth of the shipping canal and the permissible draught of vessels is increased up to 13.8m from the northern part of Klaipeda Port up to Malku Bay, more heavily loaded vessels will be able to call to the port resulting in lower intensity of navigation.
