Reputedly the largest suction dredger ever to arrive here, the M.V Galileo Galilei, owned and operated by the Jan De Nul Group, NRG Holdings’ joint venture partner is set to begin land reclamation for the company’s planned shore base on the West Demerara.
A release yesterday from the company said that the vessel’s arrival marks the beginning of the reclamation phase of the project. During this phase the dredger will clear the existing area and begin the process of adding reclaimed material for the creation of an artificial island on which the new terminal will be situated. This project will, in the first phase, add more than 44 acres to Guyana’s coastline, the release said.
