About
Sunderland City Council awarded a contract to Boskalis Westminster Ltd for capital dredging of the River Wear and the enclosed Hudson/Hendon Docks to enable access for ships attending the Tall Ships 2018 event.
The dredging was required because these areas are not covered by the annual maintenance dredging contract, as they are not used by the Port for access, and significant dredging was needed to achieve appropriate depths.
The contract value was £415,395.
