Vessels belonging to ASCO, a company under AZCON Holding, have successfully completed dredging operations in the harbour area and approach channel of the Baku Shipyard, as commissioned by the shipyard.
According to ASCO, the operation involved the dredger “Muhendis Balarza Mammadov”, the hopper barges “Bakinskaya-3” and “Bakinskaya-5”, as well as the tugboat “Abseronskaya-5”.
As part of the project, dredging was performed across an area of 80,000 square metres, deepening the seabed by up to 1 metre, bringing the total depth to 9 metres. In total, 79,000 cubic metres of material were removed.
The three-month-long operation created favourable hydrographic conditions for safe navigation and berthing of large-capacity vessels in the area.
