The QEC Capital dredging works are to allow the QEC Carrier to be capable of accessing and departing from the designated berths during the two high water windows per 24 hour period and to have the capability to remain at the designated berths at any state of the tide. To achieve this, the approach channel, harbour entrance, inner harbour and berth pocket needs to be deepened, widened and straightened. The Authority believes that the capital dredge of the approach channel into Portsmouth Harbour and the capital dredge of the inner harbour will involve the removal of approximately 3.2 million cubic metres of dredged material. ## CPV classification Marine construction works Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/a065a660-adc8-11e6-9901-0019b9f3037b) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
