Boskalis Signs Deal to Dredge Uruguayan Martin Garcia Channel

摘要

Dutch dredging company Royal Boskalis Westminster N.V., through its Uruguayan subsidiary Boskalis International S.A., signed a deal with the Rio de la Plata Administrator Commission (CARP) to dredge the Uruguayan Martin Garcia channel. Dredging began in October and should last six months. The contract, signed on September 15, aims to recover and keep the navigability of the deep waterway that cut through the otherwise shallow Rio de la Plata at 9.75 meters or (about 32 feet). The Martin Garcia channel is the entry to the Uruguay River. Its counterpart, the Emilio Mitre channel, accesses the Parana river from the Buenos Aires entrance channel.
