Boskalis commences EUR 100 million dredging activities for LNG Canada export facility
02 Octobre 2018 - 3:33PM
Papendrecht, 2 October 2018
Royal Boskalis Westminster N.V. (Boskalis)
announces that it will be executing the dredging scope for the
development of the first large-scale LNG export facility in
Kitimat, Canada (LNG Canada) following the final investment
decision by the shareholders earlier today. The contract value is
approximately EUR 100 million.
The dredging scope includes the removal and
remediation of contaminated and non-contaminated sediments at the
site of the future facility in order to provide the required
physical space and marine access for the construction of LNG
Canada. For these activities Boskalis will deploy a medium-sized
trailing suction hopper dredger, cutter suction dredger, backhoe
dredger and a crane barge. Boskalis was involved from the early
stages of this development illustrating the early cyclical exposure
dredging has on green field LNG developments. The dredging
activities are expected to continue into 2020.
LNG Canada is a joint venture comprised of Royal
Dutch Shell, Petronas, PetroChina, Mitsubishi and Korea Gas
Corporation. The liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facility will
initially consist of two LNG processing units with the first LNG
expected to be processed before the middle of the next decade.
Boskalis' strategy is aimed at benefitting from
key macro-economic factors which drive worldwide demand in our
markets: expansion of the global economy, increase in energy
consumption, global population growth and the challenges that go
hand in hand with climate change. This contract award is closely
related to the increase in energy consumption.
