Burgas Port Capital Dredging
Place of Works
Year of Completion
2017
Project Category
The project entailed capital dredging of approximately 450,000 cubic meters of seabed material within a fully operational port, a process requiring meticulous planning and coordination to avoid disruption to daily port traffic and ongoing terminal operations. The scope included deepening and reshaping the basin and access channels to accommodate larger vessels, under strict environmental and navigational constraints. One of the key challenges was the safe and efficient transport of dredged material to an offshore disposal site located 21 nautical miles from the port, requiring continuous marine logistics, weather monitoring, and compliance with maritime regulations.
