Three of our vessels – Camilla Høj, Alberte Høj, Elisabeth Høj, and Hunte – carried out dredging work, removing approximately 40,000 m³ of sand from the approach channel to a German marina. The dredged sand was subsequently pumped onto three different beaches for sand replenishment, with each beach receiving 32,000 m³, 6,000 m³, and 4,000 m³ of sand, respectively.
The project faced challenges from adverse weather conditions, as well as the presence of substantial amounts of seaweed and seagrass within the dredged sand. Special precautions and additional resources were required to ensure the efficient dredging and proper distribution of the sand across the designated beach areas.
Equally important was the safe coordination and planning needed for the relocation of pipelines to the various beaches. Effective collaboration between the client, land-based machinery, and crews demanded close coordination and efficient communication to ensure all parties worked in sync.
This project highlights Høj Nordic Marine Contractor’s expertise in overcoming the complexities of large marine contracts, with a strong focus on safety, efficiency, and environmental considerations. The successful completion of this assignment has contributed to the enhancement of Germany’s maritime infrastructure, including coastal defence and ongoing coastal development.
