The Azov-Don Basin Administration has completed the first stage of dredging at the Bagayevsky waterworks, according to the Federal Agency for Maritime and River Transport.
50 thousand cubic meters of soil were extracted in the lower pool of the waterworks. The work was carried out before the onset of negative temperatures and ice formation, the resumption of dredging is scheduled for March 2026, before the start of transit navigation.
The goal of the work is to create operational raids in the lower pool of the waterworks to ensure safe and efficient navigation when the ship lock opens in 2026. Dredging was carried out by the dredgers "Donskoy-604" and the new vessel "Leonid Svinarev", which was accepted into the administration's fleet on December 10, 2025. It was purchased through a leasing mechanism to strengthen the dredging fleet.
The completion of the first stage of work allows preparing the waterworks for future navigation and reducing risks when ships move along the lower pool. The technical equipment with modern dredgers speeds up the dredging process and increases the accuracy of the work, ensuring long-term operational reliability of the waterworks.
