The brief

The Tall ships event is being held in the City in 2018 and this will require access to the proposed berthing sites for the ships via the river Wear and the enclosed Hudson/Hendon Docks.

The river at these sites is not annually dredged under the maintenance dredging contract as it is not used by the Port for access and, as such, there could be significant dredging required to allow the appropriate depths for the ships attending the event.

Some dredging is also required in the enclosed Hudson/Hendon Dock complex operated by the Port of Sunderland.

There is, therefore a requirement for a capital dredge at these sites to allow access.
