Boskalis wins ¢45m port expansion project in Australia
Royal Boskalis Westminster has been awarded a contract by Fremantle Ports for the deepening of the Port of Fremantle Inner Harbour in Western Australia. The contract is valued at approximately € 45m and the work is scheduled to be executed in the first half of 2010.
The project requires the deepening of both the port basin and the access channel. A total of 3m cu/m of sand and rock will be dredged and the project will be executed with a large hopper dredger and a cutter suction dredger. Over the last few months, prior to the award, Boskalis was active in an Early Contractor Involvement phase for the project. During this phase, the design and working methods were optimized in close cooperation with the client and a civil contractor.
