New England's busiest port moves closer to welcoming larger container-ships and growing the regional economy thanks to Cashman Dredging and JV Partner The Dutra Group completing Phase II of III of the U.S. Army Corps' Boston Harbor Navigation Improvement Project last month, nearly one year ahead of schedule. Beginning in July of 2018, Phase II focused on deepening the main ship channels: the Outer Harbor Channel from 40 to 51 ft, the Main Shipping Channel from 40 to 47 ft, and the Reserve Channel from 40 to 47 ft. Boston Harbor's Conley Container Terminal, which currently handles 10,000 TEU vessels, will now be able to accommodate with reduced tidal delays 12-14,000 TEU vessels calling on the U.S. East Coast, bringing more commerce to the state and region. |
