Boskalis Consortium May Finish Martin Garcia Dredging Ahead of Time

摘要

A consortium made up of Boskalis and DEME Group's Dredging International N.V. may finish phase 1 of a dredging project at Martin Garcia channel ahead of time by year-end. "Due to advances in the (five-year) contract, the consortium estimates it could finish phase 1 of the dredging project by year-end," Captain Marcelo Pazos, delegate of the Uruguayan commission within the Rio de la Plata Administrator Commission (CARP), a bi-national commission of Argentina and Uruguay, said. The Uruguayan representative at CARP said the contract awarded on February 1 aims to bring the channel's depth to 34 feet and to 38 feet at hard bottom areas this year.
