What Is the Purpose of Dredging
Dredging is the process of removing sediment and other items from the bottom of a body of water.
Ports need to be dredged because rivers, currents and streams carry sand and particles that can be deposited into sand and silt under certain conditions.
In order to ensure the safety of navigation, large and small ports around the world are using dredgers to widen and deepen the passage of large ships, as a way to improve their competitive advantage.
Regular dredging helps avoid problems caused by the process of transporting sediment downstream and even filling up river channels, waterways and harbors.
Dredging also facilitates port expansion to handle the growing shipping market: the shipping sector is expanding, and ships are becoming larger.
Ports must excavate silt in order to build or expand a port.
Dredging can also promote port expansion, on the one hand, to cope with the increasing shipping market, in order to obtain a greater market capacity; On the other hand, in order to cope with the larger shipping market and obtain greater benefits, ship manufacturers become bigger and bigger.
Ports must excavate silt in order to build or expand a port.
