Royal Boskalis Westminster N.V. (Boskalis) and
joint venture partner Van Oord have been awarded a contract by The
Brazilian Ministry of Transport, Ports and Civil Aviation for the
capital and maintenance dredging of the port of Santos, the largest
port of South America. The contract carries a total value for the
joint venture of approximately EUR 110 million.
In the coming months, studies will be undertaken
and the design of the navigation channels and berths of the port
will be reviewed. Subsequent dredging operations are expected to
commence later this year with the deployment of various trailing
suction hopper dredgers and a backhoe dredger. The dredging
activities are expected to be completed in 2018.
