The trailing suction hopper dredger (TSHD) Willem Sr closed 2023 with a maintenance dredging campaign in the Ferry Port of Breskens, Filia Dredging said.
Under the project, approximately 185,000 tonnes dry solid was removed in and in front of the ferry port.
With this, Filia Dredging completed the dredging campaign for Rijkswaterstaat, on behalf of the main contractor Beens Dredging (Beens Groep).
The ferry port of Breskens is used by the Westerschelde Ferries.
Every year, approximately 500,000 pedestrians and cyclists use the ferries as a link between Zeeuws-Vlaanderen and Walcheren, said Filia.
