Dredging re-commences at Cabedelo

21 years ago

The president of Brazils Paraiba Port Company has confirmed that dredging work to remove a large piece of rock from the access channel at the port of Cabedelo recommenced in February. Once concluded this will enable the port to guarantee a minimum of 10 metres of depth in the access channel allowing larger vessels to call.

White brought much needed stability to a job that had seen seven administrators in eight years. He was respected throughout Maryland’s shipping industry and was considered instrumental in positioning the Port of Baltimore to become a leader in handling automobiles and other ro-ro cargoes.

This should help traffic at the port where imported minerals are handled from South Africa.

In 2004, 970,000 tonnes recorded. Once dredging has been concluded, Cabedelo should once again be able to compete with other ports in the North East of Brazil.
