Rohde Nielsen has completed a small port development project in the Port of Mukran in Rügen, Germany, for the client Deutsch Dänische Wasserbau Gmbh.
The reclamation work comprised dredging 25.789 m3 of fine and compacted sand in the turning circle in the harbor, where the sand afterward was transported to a finger-pier.
The hopper dredger Ask R was connected to a pipeline mounted on a pontoon with a crawler in order to pump the sand controlled into the pier area.
According to Rohde Nielsen, the compacted sand made the dredging work more difficult, but Ask R completed the project in only four days.
