According to a recent story about the dredging contractor Boskalis in the Dutch newspaper FD (translated from Dutch):
“IHC is in the race for an order of several hundred millions euros from Boskalis. According to CEO Peter Berdowski, IHC is “the most serious candidate” for the construction of two hopper dredgers. ‘We’re seriously talking to IHC,’ said Berdowski. He did say that IHC is not the only candidate.”
According to Boskalis’ strategic plan, announced in their 2019 annual report, Boskalis
believes “that the global Dredging market for hopper and cutter dredge projects has a value of €56 billion with the bulk of identified projects to be realized in the next five years.” It added that “This outlook is slightly better than the market assessment from three years ago.”
Accordingly Boskalis has announced annual capital investment plans in the range of €200 million.
