For the last few years, our trailing suction hopper dredger Medway has been almost fully dedicated to maintaining the Weser River in northern Germany. Since 2020, the vessel has dredged sand, silt and clay from the access channels to Bremerhaven and the port of Brake, where large container vessels moor to load or discharge their cargoes. The Weser River also serves as a vital route to the port of Nordenham, supporting various offshore activities. Boskalis makes grateful use of this port as well, for example, in the past year, our heavy transport vessel Target loaded monopiles for offshore wind farms in Nordenham, and our cable-laying vessel BOKA Ocean berthed along the quay to load many kilometers of export cable.
With few exceptions, our colleagues from Boskalis Hirdes have been maintaining the Weser River for over 15 years. We extend our sincere thanks to our client WSA Weser-Jade-Nordsee for the excellent cooperation throughout these years, and to our dedicated vessel crews for their unwavering commitment.
