The dredging volume specified in the design includes the alluvial soil volume estimated from the date of the measurement survey giving the marine and national inland waterway notice to the date of the measurement survey for handover of the cleared site; the step in formulating the project or economic-technical report and the step in evaluating and inspecting acceptance testing activities of the specialized construction body shall not be performed;

- As for the turnkey standard maintenance dredging carried out during the definite period and the irregular maintenance dredging carried out for the purpose of maintaining traffic safety, the Ministry of Transport shall provide detailed instructions for making the project design and cost estimate.

Above are regulations on producing the construction design and making the cost estimate for projects of dredging operations of marine navigation channels in Vietnam.
