Rossport: Dredging work resumed in Broadhaven Bay

t | 25.09.2008 23:01

The dredging boats are back in Broadhaven Bay. This morning the 3 dredging boats - the backhoe dredger the Zenne (jackup barge), the split-hopper barge Vlaanderen VII, and the trailing suction hopper dredger “Mellina” arrived back in the bay from off Ballyglass pier where they were moored. The excavator on the Zenne has just begun digging and depositing material on the Vlaanderen.
7 support boats are also around the dredging work.

The dredging work is continuing into the night after going on all day.

Still not clear exactly what the story is but the Zenne and Mellina are still dredging along where the pipe is due to be laid. They look set to work through the night.

People should be on alert although we've been told that the Solitaire was still in Scotland today.
