Work is set to begin on the final stage of the $120 million Channel Risk and Optimization Project (CROP) at the Port of Port Hedland in April, with a dredging company appointed to undertake the work, reports the Government of Western Australia. Global dredging company Jan De Nul has been appointed to conduct the work, which is expected to be concluded in June. Jan De Nul will remove the remaining high spots in the passing lane and shipping channel of the port. As part of the project, a refuge zone and an emergency passing lane to the current 42km unidirectional shipping channel will be developed. The project has been undertaken in stages in conjunction with annual maintenance dredging campaigns, and this final stage is due to begin in April 2019.
