Papendrecht, 25 November 2016
Royal Boskalis Westminster N.V.
(Boskalis) has been awarded a contract by Açu Petróleo S.A. (joint
venture company of Prumo Logística S.A. and Oiltanking Gmbh) for
the expansion of the Porto do Açu Oil Transhipment Terminal in Rio
de Janeiro State, Brazil. The contract has a total value of
approximately EUR 120 million.
The expansion comprises the deepening, widening
and extension of the access channel and turning basin. In total,
approximately 32 million cubic meters of sand, silt and clay will
be dredged. The activities will commence immediately and are
expected to be completed late 2017. For this project one jumbo and
two large trailing suction hopper dredgers will be deployed.
Currently, the terminal's access channel has a
depth of 20.5 meters suitable to receive Suezmax type vessels. By
the end of 2017 the depth will be increased to up to 24.5 meters,
so the terminal will be able to receive Very Large Crude
Carriers.
Between 2011 and 2015 Boskalis was responsible for
the development of a large part of Açu Port, which included the
construction of two access channels, a turning basin, an inner
channel and mooring berths as well as the 2.4 kilometer of
revetments for the inner harbor's protection.
