Dredging – Skandia Gateway
The Port of Gothenburg has signed a contract with Boskalis Sweden AB for blasting and dredging works as part of Skandia Gateway.
The contract is valued at approximately SEK 202 million (around EUR 18 million).
The works form part of the port’s contribution to the wider Skandia Gateway project, which will deepen the fairway into the Port of Gothenburg from today’s vessel draught of 13.5 metres to a maximum of 17.5.
This will enable more, larger, and deeper-draught vessels to call at Scandinavia’s largest port.
Skandia Gateway is a strategic project designed to secure Sweden’s direct access to the world. As vessel sizes continue to grow, the current fairway depth already limits the ability of large vessels to call at the Port of Gothenburg fully loaded.
