Army Corps Dredges Charleston Harbor | Charleston News

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is pouring $28 million into keeping Charleston Harbor’s shipping channel deep and clear — a vital move for national defense and East Coast trade, since Charleston ranks as the fourth busiest container port in the nation. Awarded to The Dutra Group, the project kicks off this month with a one-year timeline to dredge two turning basins and 19 miles of main channel using two dredges simultaneously. Spoils will be relocated to a designated site, and boaters are urged to stay alert via radio updates amid active vessel operations. This effort supports maintenance across 38+ miles of channels and basins, ensuring the port remains a critical economic and military hub.
