Royal Boskalis Westminster N.V. (Boskalis) has received a Letter of Intent (LOI) to award a contract worth approximately €480m for the development of the port of Duqm in Oman, subject to satisfying certain conditions.
The contract includes engineering, design, procurement and construction of a bulk liquid berth terminal.
Various dredging and civil activities will be executed under the responsibility of Boskalis, including the deepening of the port basin to a depth of 18 metres, reclamation of new land, the construction of a quay wall with a length of one kilometre, a double berth jetty island and stone revetment.
The dredging scope will be executed by the new mega cutter Helios, which will be put into service mid-2017, and a jumbo hopper and medium-sized trailer suction hopper dredger.
The design activities are scheduled to begin in the next few weeks, while equipment will be mobilised mid-2017.
The project is expected to be completed in 2020.
