In order to adapt the harbour of Mariel (Cuba) to make possible the traffic of high draught boats, dredging tasks are specially important. The Cuban government, by the state – owned company OBRAS MARÍTIMAS, is setting up the “Quality Star” dredge, so this vessel can be able to carry out this type of jobs in a close future.

The project supposes certainly a big challenge, because it includes the renewal of two propelling engines and a third engine which operates a powerful jet pump. It also includes the supply of a big quantity of spare parts for the dredge, and also the improvement of some of its equipments.

NOVAEXIM, who is already one of the main suppliers of the spare parts needed, has also been appointed by OBRAS MARITIMAS as coordinator of the refurbishment works of the “Quality Star” dredge, including spare parts supplying control and activities planification of other companies participating in this project.

We consider this appointment as a big responsability, and also as a demonstration of confidence from our client, after many years of professional relationship together.
