Dredging Corporation of India
The Dredging Corporation of India (DCI) has bagged the contract for the dredging of the northern arm of Visakhapatnam Port, which is the last of the three dredging works being taken up by Visakhapatnam Port Trust (VPT) to increase the navigable depths at the major port.
Dharti Dredging and Infrastructure Limited (DDIL) and DCI had bid for the project aimed at increasing the depth of the northern arm from the existing 12.5 metres to around 16.5 metres, according to sources. The project estimated at around Rs 32 crore will involve dredging of nearly 1 million cubic metres of soil from the northern arm of the VPT.
The completion of the project, the contract for which was awarded two days ago, will enable vessels with a draft of around 14.5 metres to enter the inner channel, leading to increased cargo handling capacity at VPT, said sources.
"The formalities are expected to be completed soon and work on the project should start by July. We expect the work to be over within six months, said a senior VPT official.
