The companies will subcontract for their Indian
partner, ITD Cementation, as part of a joint venture. A letter of award was
signed for this purpose during the economic mission. The project involves land development and coastal protection for the
port of Vadhavan, located on India’s west coast. The Indian government aims to
make it one of the world’s top ten container ports by 2040.
Work is scheduled
to begin in the third quarter of 2025, post-monsoon. For this project, DEME and
Jan De Nul will deploy two of their largest trailing suction hopper dredgers.
