Modernisation of the Świnoujście – Szczecin fairway

The idea of a modern maritime access route from the Baltic Sea to the Port of Szczecin in Poland was already born towards the end of 20th century. Quay walls in the neighbouring Port of Police, built in the 80s, were already constructed to accommodate a depth of 12.5 metres and initial modernisation works commenced in the early 90s. On 28 September 2018 the “Modernisation of the Świnoujście – Szczecin Fairway to a depth of 12.5 m” became a reality with the signing of the design and build contract between the Maritime Office Szczecin and the DIVO consortium (Dredging International NV and Van Oord).
