17 Abril 2019 - 3:00AM
Papendrecht, 17 April 2019
Royal Boskalis Westminster N.V.
(Boskalis) has been awarded two contracts in Indonesia. On the
island of Sulawesi, Boskalis will expand the Makassar New Port
container terminal and on the island of Java it will prepare land
for a new petrochemical complex. Both projects will be executed in
the second half of 2019 and carry a combined value of approximately
EUR 75 million.
The first project, awarded by construction company
PT PP, entails the expansion of a new terminal for the Makassar New
Port of port operator PT Pelindo IV by 45 hectares. The dredging
scope includes the removal of soft clay followed by land
reclamation work which requires the dredging and supply of sand.
The port is a strategic maritime infrastructure project for the
Indonesian government and designated as the gateway to the Eastern
Indonesian Archipelago for international container carriers. One of
Boskalis' mega trailing suction hopper dredgers will be deployed on
this project for a period of approximately half a year.
For a new petrochemical complex of Lotte Chemical,
which will be located in the coastal city Cilegon on the island of
Java, Boskalis will prepare 95 hectares of land for construction
purposes by supplying sand and improving the soil by means of
vertical drainage executed by Boskalis subsidiary Cofra. This
project will be executed for the engineering and construction arm
of the South Korean conglomerate Lotte. Boskalis will deploy a
jumbo trailing suction hopper dredger for the dredging
activities.
