15MAR2019 - NEWS - Dredging work starts at the port of Hueneme of California starts for making port operations more efficient

The Californian Port of Hueneme recently held a groundbreaking for their newest project – deepening the harbor an additional five feet. Deepening the harbor will create over 563 new jobs, $28 million in business revenue, $5.8 million in local purchases, and $4.6 million in state and local taxes. The project is largely funded by a $12.3 million TIGER Grant (Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery) from the U.S. Department of Transportation. The port’s harbor is currently 35 feet in depth, however this new project will bring the harbor’s depth to 40 feet. This increased capacity will allow existing vessels to not be constrained waiting for high tide to enter the harbor, making their visits to Hueneme more efficient.
