THE final phase of dredging activities at Chalmers Crossing, on the Essequibo River by the dredge, ‘STEVE N’, was completed on November 30 last. 

The Maritime Administration Department (MARAD) reports that the ‘STEVE N’ commenced operation on the Essequibo River at Chalmers Crossing on September 17, 2014, as part of a plan to dredge the shallow areas of the Essequibo River that currently impede the movement of ships.
The ‘STEVE N’, MARAD said yesterday, is expected to conduct more dredging activities at the New Amsterdam Stelling, in Berbice, in the first quarter of the new year.
