The Dipper Von Rocks dredger arrived early this morning at the Port of Maó, pulled by the Gargal tug boat. Over the next few days, it will be joining in with the dredging work currently taking place in the Maó waters. 

 

This powerful dipper dredger will considerably speed up dredging operations, which have been underway since 10th March. The dredger will be operating alongside the lighters John and Paul, which arrived in Maó last week. These barges will be used to transport the material dredged by the Dipper Von Rocks, with the back-up of the GPS Battler tug boat. After its arrival at the port today, the dredger will need two or three days to be put into position before it can start dredging.
