Boskalis' Boom Year

Dutch dredging giant Royal Boskalis Westminster has announced anticipated net profits for 2005 will be up by at least 80% on 2004, when the company posted a figure of ?32.3m. A large intake of orders late in the year, including a ?0.8bn project in Qatar, has doubled the order book from a year ago. Turnover for 2005 is expected to be up some 15% on the 2004 figure of ?1bn.

Fleet utilisation improved in 2005 due to more works requiring the company's large hopper dredgers.

Final results will be announced on 13 March.
