After completing a successful dredging project in Poole Harbor, Jenkins Marine’s dredger, C H Horn, has arrived in Ipswich to commence maintenance dredging at Woolverstone Marina. The project aims to ensure uninterrupted access and functionality for marina users as the busy season approaches.
An Efficient Dredger for Precision Work
The C H Horn is a state-of-the-art dredger, renowned for its efficiency and maneuverability. Equipped with a 125m³ hopper, it can achieve full capacity in as little as one hour under optimal digging conditions. This makes it the perfect choice for time-sensitive and complex dredging projects.
