14MAR2019 - NEWS - Dutch dredging and maritime firm Boskalis gets contract for the dredging work in Adelaide port of Australia

The widening project for the Australian Adelaide port has been recently awarded to Dutch dredging and maritime company Boskalis. The project, awarded by port owner and operator Flinders Ports, was granted the final approval with the receipt of a dredging licence from the Environment Protection Authority (EPA). Boskalis would widen the Port Adelaide Outer Harbor shipping channel to 170 meters from the current 130 meters, and extend the turning basin to accommodate the larger and more efficient Post Panamax container ships. The expanded channel will also accommodate larger cruise ships. Dredging is scheduled to commence in early June and should take three months to complete.
