Netherlands-headquartered company Van Oord has been awarded the dredging contract by the Port of Kaohsiung International Ports Corporation (TIPC) for the Kaohsiung Intercontinental Container Center Phase II in Taiwan.
Preparations have already started and the execution period runs until January 2018 - the contract value amounts to approximately € 130 million.
The project involves the dredging and reclamation of 37 million m3 of sand for the extension of Kaohsiung Port. Van Oord will deploy one of its largest trailing suction hopper dredgers. Kaohsiung, located on the South China Sea, is the largest Taiwanese port and plays an important role in the Taiwanese export-oriented economy.
The independent leading international contractor specialises in dredging, marine engineering and offshore projects (oil, gas and wind) and carries out trench dredging and backfilling and pipe lay installation worldwide.
Van Oord’s expertise ranges from design to execution – the firm has been involved in a number of high-profile construction projects, including Palm Jumeirah in Dubai and the second Suez Canal in Egypt. The Netherlands company employs approximately 5,000 professionals worldwide.
