Port of Bahía Blanca opens envelops of dredging auction

Bidding envelopes were opened for periodic maintenance dredging at the anchor points of the Ingeniero White, Galván, and Rosales ports and for the maintenance of dredging in the channels of the Bahía Blanca port system and the Puerto Belgrano Naval Base in Argentina.

For the first activity, the bidding companies were Cia. Sudamericana de Dragados SA, Gidrostroy Argentina SA, and Van Oord, the Dredging and Maritime Contractors of BV Branch Argentina – DYOPSA – UTE.

For dredging in the channels of the Bahía Blanca port system, the companies were Cia. Sudamericana de Dragados SA, Gidrostroy Argentina SA, Dredging International NV, Boskalis International BV Branch Argentina and Van Oord Dredging and Marine Contractors BV Branch Argentina – DYOPSA – UTE.

In the first case, the deadline for the project will be 27 months and includes the removal of sediment at the sites and maneuvering areas to recover the depths of the theoretical design.

In the other proposal, the project will be 30 months long. Restoration of the main access channel depths between 4 and 80 kilometers should be restored using a drag suction dredger. In addition, the Puerto Belgrano Naval Base access channel must be dredged in accordance with the stipulated conditions.

The 45-foot dredging of Bahía Blanca brings competitive advantages to the port, which can accommodate various types of ships, such as oil tankers or those related to wind energy.
