DEME's dredger starts work on new Port 2000 channel

Backhoe dredger Peter the Great has recently started dredging operations as part of the project to create a new access channel at Port 2000 in Le Havre, France.

This marks a new phase in the project, following an important milestone in the construction of the new breakwater, DEME said in a social media post.

Known as La Chatière, this new 2-kilometre access channel will link Port 2000 to the historic port of Le Havre and the Seine basin.

This will provide river barges with direct access to the terminal in all weather and tidal conditions.
