The traditional method to deploy grab dredgerpump barge to remove the fluid mud at the narrow area like wharf front,is complicated and lack of efficiency.In order to solve these problems occurred during implementation of the New Deep Water Terminal Dredging Project,Kuantan Port,Pahang,a new method known as utilizing flat-bottom barge to assist TSHD in dredging the fluid mud at the wharf frontage is introduced.The results show that by deploying flat-bottom barge between TSHD and the wharf front area,mooring the TSHD along the barge,the barge will work as a buffer to prevent the TSHD from crashing the wharf structure,which enables the TSHD to take advantage of its large-power pump to remove the fluid mud at the wharf front area.This method simplifies the operating procedures and significantly enhances the dredging efficiency at such an area,so it may serve as reference for similar projects.
