The Myanma Port Authority (MPA) reinvited domestic and foreign companies to submit a tender for dredging and improvement of the riverway of the Dawei River in Taninthayi Region and for sand export.
Excessive river sediments disrupt water channels, reduce channel capacity, block navigation and reduce draft level. Therefore, MPA called for companies to operate dredging work along the riverway and exportation of sand excavated from the river
Unlike a commercial dredging, this dredging work needs to ensure no impact on the environment and ecosystem, dredging at the specific shallow-water areas designated by the MPA to reach the targeted water-depth, no disruption to the socioeconomic conditions of the local people, and providing support to the development works if necessary. Therefore, the bidder must present their qualification in terms of work, technical experiences, the strength of exports and equipment and financial capability. Interested companies that meet the criteria are invited to submit the tender to MPA by 1 pm on 10 March. Tender applications will be sold between 11 February and 6 March at MPA’s Store Department in Botahtaung Township.
International companies may need to form a JV company with a local company or to have a branch office in Myanmar or to register in Myanmar if they are awarded the tender. Individuals can enquire about details of the tender process and regulation through 01 246380 and 09 444714377. — NN/KK
