Gjennomseiling Herøy - Ulstein

The main road from Røyrasundet to Svædet in Herøy and Ulstein municipalities shall be elaborated. The main aim is to increase security and ease of navigation in a complex and weather prone fairway. The measure comprises a total of 3 deepening areas Skinnbrokleia, Kyrkjefluda and Svædet. It is planned to dredge all areas to a depth of -11.3 metres (nautical chart wool). The total planned deepening area is approx. 86,000 m² and the calculated deepening volume is approx. 175,000 cubic metres of engineered solid matter (pfm³). The project has two regulated and approved seabed deposits, one in direct connection to the deepening area at Skinnbrokleia and one at Kyrkjefluda. The project has an option to transport the dredged materials to Herøy municipality ́s filling area Paradisbukta.
