According to USACE Wilmington, the company was awarded a $17,116,750 contract for the dredging project.
The project will provide a safe and efficient passage for commercial vessels and support commerce throughout the Cape Fear region, stated USACE Wilmington.
“Regular dredging is essential to remove accumulated sediment, which can impede vessel traffic and limit cargo capacity, thus impacting the Port of Wilmington’s operations and its critical role in the supply chain,” said USACE in a press release.
