Boskalis and Van Oord have commenced the preparatory dredging works for Sweden’s largest dredging project in modern times. To facilitate the production and export of green steel in the north of Sweden, the port and waterways in Luleå need to be deepened. Once the Malmporten project is completed, the Port of Luleå will be able to accommodate larger vessels, enabling three to four times the current cargo capacity. The dredging of the port and waterways significantly improves maritime transport efficiency while minimizing environmental impact.
Boskalis’ backhoe dredger Magnor and Van Oord’s backhoe dredger Simson now started dredging the port and fairway to enable the subsequent work to be carried out as efficiently as possible.
