What is marina and harbor dredging, and why is it necessary?

Marinas and harbors 

are essential transportation centers for boats and ships that require regular maintenance to operate correctly. The accumulation of sediment, silt, and other debris in these waterways can cause shallow waters that impede navigation and pose safety risks to vessels.

To ensure safe access and navigation at all times, regular dredging is necessary to remove the accumulated material from the bottom of the waterway, and the frequency of dredging depends on various factors such as location, ocean currents present, and the type of sediment that has accumulated. 

Jet suction dredgers are among the most effective types of dredgers for marina and harbor dredging. They utilize a high-pressure water jet to loosen sediment and debris from the bottom of the waterway, which is then suctioned up by a powerful vacuum system, and the dredged material is transported to a disposal site. 

Jet suction dredgers are efficient and environmentally friendly, as they minimize disruption to the surrounding ecosystem during the dredging process. Marina and harbor dredging is a vital process that ensures the safe operation of waterways.
