Royal Boskalis Westminster N.V. (Boskalis) recently announced the successful completion of the sizable port construction project in Duqm, Oman.
For this extraordinary EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) project Boskalis dredged a new harbor basin and entrance channel with a depth of 18 meters.
The company also constructed a kilometer-long quay wall, two 400 meter-long jetties and reclaimed land for a port platform including ground improvement and associated 4 km shore protection.
The dredging part of the project was executed with the mega cutter Helios, taken into service mid-2017.
Also engaged in the project were a jumbo hopper and medium-sized hopper dredgers, with the assistance of other vessels.
In terms of safety this Duqm Liquid Bulk Berth project resulted in another marvelous achievement.
Boskalis worked 6.5 million man-hours without a single lost-time incident.
The company recently released a video about the scheme and thanked everyone involved in this challenging project since 2017.
