About this project

Contract Extension for Port Maintenance

We’re proud to continue our long-standing partnership with a consortium of New Zealand ports. The renewed contract, now extended through 2037, includes the ports of Tauranga, Timaru, Taranaki and Lyttelton, as well as the newly added ports of Gisborne and Nelson. This project will be carried out by our dedicated local team together with the trusted trailing suction hopper dredger Albatros.

Channel Deepening in Tauranga

In collaboration with a local partner, we will deepen the channel at the Port of Tauranga to accommodate larger vessels and help reduce congestion. This project is an important step in future-proofing the port’s infrastructure.

Because the maintenance dredging work for these ports does not last all year round, the Albatros is also working for other clients, such as for the Port Authority Port of Gisborn and for the Marsden Point Oil Refinery in Whangarei and for clients outside New Zealand, such as for Samoa Shipping Corporation (SSC) on Samoa and Tweed Sand Bypassing in Australia (Dutch Dredging Australia).
