Dredging – DEME
DEME has been awarded a contract for the construction of an offshore wind terminal in the Port of Cuxhaven in Germany.
The terminal will boost Cuxhaven’s position as a key offshore industrial hub to support the handling of heavy-duty loads, particularly components for offshore wind farms.
Operated by Niedersachsen Ports (NPorts), the expanded offshore wind terminal will consist of three (5-7) berths and 1,250 metres of quay wall for heavy loads, as well as a storage area of 38 hectare.
As part of a consortium, which includes leading German civil marine construction companies Depenbrock and TAGU, DEME will carry out the dredging and land reclamation works, with a total volume of more than 3 million m³ expected to be reclaimed.
Two trailing suction hopper dredgers, a backhoe dredger and several barges will be deployed.
