Port of Veracruz to be dredged and expanded
LUXEMBOURG-HEADQUARTERED dredging company, Jan De Nul Group, has acquired a contract worth EUR60 million (US $65.5 million), for deepening the Port of Veracruz.
The Gulf of Mexico port's access channel and turning basin will be dredged, resulting in 13 million cubic metres being removed and reclaimed, on which five new terminals will be built with a capacity to handle up to 100 million metric tonnes per year.
"The works are scheduled to commence in the summer and will be completed in March 2018," Jan De Nul Group said.
Situated along the Gulf of Mexico, the Port of Veracruz is currently called by 30 liner services, according to BlueWater Reporting's Port Dashboard tool. These services include 14 fully cellular container services, 13 pure car/truck carrier or roll-on/roll off services, one multi-purpose service, one open hatch service and one con-ro service, according to American Shipper.
