The cement vessel in use is not sufficiently large to provide cement that will last more than one day, at the rate at which cement is consumed.<\/p>\n

Hence, the dredging is intended to allow for a larger vessel that will bring even more cement than is now available each week.<\/p>

The dredging will be completed in 120 days, the Minister informed the Cabinet.<\/p>
