DOP Saves Explosive Dredging Situation

Works have been ongoing to enlarge the Twentekanaal, an important shipping channel in the east of Holland. Enlargement will allow the canal to accommodate larger ships and will also provide additional capacity for water drainage. The project was proceeding in a normal fashion until explosive devices were found in the dredged mixture, halting all works with immediate effect.
