Dutch dredging group Koninklijke Boskalis Westminster has won a dredging and reclamation contract worth $1 billion over 36 months to help build a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in Qatar’s Ras Laffan port.
Boskalis, considered to be the world’s largest dredging company, said it would work together with Belgian firm Jan de Nul, which had also received a contract worth $1 billion.
Construction of the new facility will more than quadruple the capacity of Ras Laffan port, also built by Boskalis and De Nul in 1992. Dredging work would involve reclaiming 25 million cu m of sand from the sea, and building 21-km-long breakwaters.
