Martin Garcia Channel navigation - Dredging Works (August Update)
Date: 30/08/2018
Pls find attached herebelow, the last official depths of Martin Garcia channel (Uruguay river) based on the dredging works that are being carried out.
So far the draft limitation remains without changes as the depth of the lowest point is still 9,75 meters to 0 level (Km 63,8 of the Farallon pass).
Once finalized the dredging works the draft limitation would be as reference 10,36 meters to 0 level using the river water level to comply with the compulsory 2 feet of UKC.
This expected change in the draft limitation of Martin Garcia channel will have a big impact in the vessels calling Nueva Palmira port.
