Lerwick dredging project almost complete

Lerwick Port Authoritys £ 12m dredging project has reached a significant stage. The dredging phase is almost complete. Drill and blast operations were completed ahead of schedule by the barge Playmate and it has now been released along with one of the disposal barges. The backhoe dredger Manu Pekka is finalising the extraction and was due to be released last month with the second disposal barge.
