Dutch Dredging NZ Ltd

Dutch Dredging New Zealand is a subsidiary company based in Auckland, New Zealand.

On 9 November 2016, Baggerbedrijf De Boer signed a ten‑year contract in Auckland for maintenance dredging operations in five New Zealand ports. The agreement—signed in the presence of the Dutch royal couple—covers the ports of Primeport Timaru, Port Taranaki, Port of Tauranga, Lyttelton, and Napier. 

What makes this contract particularly notable is that these competing ports joined forces in a combined tender, enabling our trailing suction hopper dredger Albatros to be permanently stationed in New Zealand.

In 2025, the existing maintenance contract was extended until 2037. This extension includes maintenance dredging for a consortium of ports, including Primeport Timaru, Port Taranaki, Port of Tauranga, Lyttelton Port Company, Port of Napier, and the newly added ports Gisborne and Nelson.

In addition to the maintenance contract, a new agreement was signed for the deepening of the navigation channel in the Port of Tauranga.

As a family‑owned company, we focus on long‑term cooperation. This contract aligns seamlessly with that philosophy—an excellent example of sustainable collaboration between all parties and true Dutch craftsmanship abroad.
