The self-propelled hopper dredger Darya, owned by FSUE "Hydrographic Enterprise" (part of Rosatom), has begun dredging operations in the Sabetta seaport.
Rosatom said that the main goal of the project is to ensure the necessary depth of the approach channel for safe navigation.
For this job, the dredger made a transit from Vladivostok via the Northern Sea Route to the Ob Bay. On its first day of operation, the vessel extracted over 12.000 cubic meters of soil.
The plan for 2026 for this dredger is to remove almost 600.000 cubic meters of material from the area.
Since Sabetta is a freezing port, dredging work can only be carried out for no more than 3 months a year.
