Boskalis has signed a contract to deepen a new section of The Port of Gothenburg in Sweden. The dredging and blasting works will begin in October. The work will take place near a newly constructed quay and will enable more, larger and deeper-draught vessels to call at Scandinavia’s largest port.
The works form part of the port’s contribution to the wider Skandia Gateway project, which will deepen the fairway into the Port of Gothenburg from today’s vessel draught of 13.5 meters to a maximum of 17.5 meters. As vessel sizes continue to grow, the current fairway depth already limits the ability of large vessels to call at the Port of Gothenburg fully loaded.
We thank the Port of Gothenburg for its trust and look forward to a successful cooperation in Sweden.
