Dredging has begun at NSW's Port Botany in the first stage of a $1 billion port expansion. A Belgian cutter suction dredge, the Nu Bounty, will be used during the initial stages of dredging. It is 50m long, 10m wide and has the capability to dredge to a depth of 22m below water. The Nu Bounty will reclaim an area between the existing Brotherson dock and the end of the third runway adjacent to the Patricks terminal. The dredging process will take a year, according to NSW ports and waterways minister Joe Tripodi. "The work will ensure the port has the capacity to accommodate an expected doubling of trade over the next 10 to 15 years," he said. A silt curtain is being installed around the area where dredging is being done to confine sediment and to protect wider Botany Bay.
