Alliance LLC will enter the dredging market of Russia in 2023. In his interview with IAA PortNews, Aleksey Milovantsev, General Director of Alliance, tells about the company’s plans to become a new player in the dredging segment.
According to him, Alliance has recently acquired a non-self-propelled bucket-type dredger (with a 16-cbm bucket). “We are preparing the dredger for transportation to Russia and holding pre-contract negotiations on its operation. There are only three dredgers with similar characteristics in Russia today,” explained Aleksey Milovantsev.
