The contract was awarded to a consortium of Jan De Nul and STFA and is worth €330m. The work consists of the construction of an additional 350m of quay wall which will be used for unloading aggregates for the booming concrete market in Qatar.

The dredging part of the deal consists of the excavation of 5 million m³ of relatively hard rock that has to be dredged to a depth of -15.5m and reclaimed over a distance of 4.5km. The total duration of the contract including the civil works is two years. The dredging work will be executed by the cutter suction dredger JFJ De Nul from September this year and will take about 11 months to complete.
