On or about 17th August 2020 works will commence at Navigator Terminal Berth 1 to replace and upgrade the existing downstream dolphin and increase the depths of the dredge box around the berth. The dolphin replacement works will involve a variety of barges and support vessels including jack-up barge SEA7, flat-tops NEPTUNE, DEVELOPER & SEAVOYAGER, safety vessel DIVECO 5 and various tugs. The works will involve the removal of the existing downstream dolphin structure and replacement with a new structure, including heavy lifting operations.

The Egret will have a submerged tow behind her and have a maximum speed of 4 knots, she is therefore restricted in her ability to manoeuvre.
