Challange

The Russian Ministry of Transport has, through the principal contractor USK MOST, JSC awarded a contract to DEME for dredging works which took 2 years. The contract was signed with ‘Mordraga LLC’, DEME’s Russian subsidiary. The contract comprised dredging work for the access channel and turning basin of a new service port on the Yamal peninsula. This port must serve hyper-modern, icebreaking LNG ships. The dredging works started in 2014 and were completed in 2015. Dredging was only possible in the summer and only for 10 weeks. The new project meant work for at least 250 people during 2 years. The gas will be transported from Yamal to two European ports, probably including Zeebrugge.
