It is reported that In order to ensure safe shipping in Cockburn Sound, Fremantle Ports announced last week that it is about to begin a maintenance dredging campaign of the Success and Parmelia channels.
According to the company, this campaign will remove approximately 80,000m3 of sediment from five areas within the channels.”One maintenance dredging load will be undertaken every 24 hours, removing approximately 1,000m3 on every dredge path run,” Fremantle Ports said. “The maintenance dredging will not be additional to CCL’s current dredging; instead, one trip to the CCL dredge area will be substituted with a maintenance site within the channels.”
The maintenance dredging campaign will last for three to four months, and it will benefit the local environment and people who live nearby.
