DSC Sends New Dredge to Bangladesh

DSC Dredge recently shipped the first of three new 18in Shark-class portable cutter suction dredges to contractors in Bangladesh. A second dredge will be shipped by the end of July. The third will shipped in February 2018.

The three new dredges will apply to restore navigability to Bangladesh’s waterways.

Bangladesh has 24,000km of rivers, streams and canals, which are prone to silting in during the monsoon season. Following a 2009 study, the Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Authority (BIWTA) has been calling on private contractors to help meet the demand for river dredging in Bangladesh to keep its waterways clear for transport – spurring an increased need for dredges.
