Van Oord to Dredge Krishnapatnam Port for Depth Restoration
In December 2023, severe cyclonic storm Michaung caused siltation in the Bay of Bengal, leading to reduced port channel depths. Van Oord’s HAM 318 drag suction dredger will remove around 5 million cubic meters of material to restore the harbor’s required depth by early March. Krishnapatnam Port, India’s deepest, chose Van Oord for their excellent track record.
