Call for return to Buenaventura dredging

Plans have been put forward to reactivate the dredging of the access channel at the port of Buenaventura, which had to be suspended because of a fall in the dollar-peso exchange rate. Deepening of this channel has been costed at $36m. Initially, draught will be deepened to 12.5 metres, although the eventual aim is to achieve 14 metres of draught, although this will cost an additional $44m.
