Salvage operations in China refloated the world’s largest trailing suction hopper dredger last month after it had grounded in mud following collision with the 9,200 TEU containership ‘MSC Joanna’ in March. Boskalis’ jumbo dredger ‘WD Fairway’ had been dredging a new navigation fairway for the Port of Tianjin when the accident occurred.
