A routine maintenance dredging project is about to begin within the Trafalgar Wharf Approaches, informs the Queen’s Harbour Master Portsmouth.
The dredging of the Trafalgar Wharf Approaches will be conducted by Jenkins Marine Ltd, commencing on the 19 May 2020.
As reported, the vessel conducting this task is the spud legged backhoe dredger “Doreen Dorward” which will display the appropriate signals from the COLREGS when conducting their operations.
