DEME Wins Dredging Contract for Tunisian Ports

en.Wedoany.com Reported - DEME has signed a dredging contract with the Tunisian Office of Merchant Marine and Ports (OMMP) to enhance the accessibility, safety, and compliance with international standards of several strategic ports in the country.

The project covers three locations: Sousse, Menzel Bourguiba/Bizerte, and Radès/La Goulette. Due to the geographical dispersion of the work sites and limited on-site storage capacity, DEME will adopt an integrated execution strategy to optimize logistics and operational management.

Under the contract, DEME will first construct cofferdams at the ports of Menzel Bourguiba and Sousse, which are over 200 kilometers apart, requiring meticulous planning and coordination. The second phase will involve large-scale dredging operations at all three sites. DEME will deploy a Trailing Suction Hopper Dredger (TSHD) for the dredging work and will manage the dredged material sustainably and efficiently using three different methods tailored to each location's characteristics.

In Sousse and Menzel Bourguiba, the dredged material will be used for land reclamation. In Bizerte, a combined approach will be adopted, with part of the material reclaimed in Menzel Bourguiba and the remainder disposed of at sea. In Radès and La Goulette, all dredged material will be pumped to designated onshore areas.
