Video – Dredger Undergoing Repairs After Taking On Water

In Local

Cobourg’s dredger has been out of commission for a few days undergoing repairs.

The dredge used for removing accumulated sand and silt which contributes to shallow waters and hinders boat anchoring was working in Cobourg Harbour recently when one of the pontoons started taking on water.

The pontoon required to be drained and patched, however, to do this, the dredge needed to be towed out of the water and placed on stands during the repair.

Repairs are currently being done, and we hope to have the dredge back in operation for Thursday
