The Dover Harbour Board has gone out to tender with a maintenance dredging contract for the Port of Dover running from 2024 to 2028.
The works consist of the maintenance dredging of the berth, basins and approaches in the Port of Dover. The primary scope of works is the restoration of advertised depths within the Inner Harbour, Outer Harbour and the Eastern Docks. The dredging must be carried out by trailing suction hopper dredger only - bed levelling is also permitted.
The sediment sample test results classify the sediment as the fine sandy silt. With regard to disposal, material from the Port of Dover can only be placed at the designated offshore disposal site. Any navigation beacons which have to be removed in connection with the contract must be removed and re-established by the contractor.
Pre-dredge surveys will be carried out by the Harbour Board using a multi-beam echo sounder, resulting in near total seabed coverage.
Estimated start date of the contract, which will run for 4 years Framework with a further 1 year extension option, is 2 September 2024.
Time limit for receipt of tenders or requests to participate is 15 March 2024 – click here to access the tender documentation.
