The company will use a medium-sized trailing suction hopper dredger and a backhoe for the dredging and capping of the sediment.
Boskalis’s contract in Vietnam is with a consortium led by Petrovietnam Technical Services, a subsidiary of Vietnam’s state-owned oil company Petrovietnam.
Under the deal, the company will install a jumbo trailing suction hopper dredger later in 2013 to execute works on an approach channel and port basin for a new refinery and petrochemical complex in Nghi Son.
