The project will deepen and widen the 52-mile channel, and will ensure larger import and export container cargo ships can safely move through the water.
HOUSTON, Texas -- A new, billion-dollar,"generation-defining" project aims to expand the Houston Ship Channel.
Port of Houston, in collaboration with several other groups, hosted a kick-off event on Wednesday morning for"Project 11," which will deepen and widen the 52-mile channel that stretches all the way from the Gulf of Mexico into Houston. At a press conference on Wednesday, Port of Houston explained that dredges, such as one named"Carolina" will play a major part in the expansion.
"It's one of the largest dredges in the United States. She is 340 feet long, 65 feet wide, and has about 16,000 horsepower installed on the vessel," said Lasse Petterson with Great Lakes Dredge and Dock."The dredge has completed numerous challenging projects around the world, and we repositioned her from the Middle East to the U.S. two years ago."
