DEME has signed a dredging contract1 with the Office de la Marine Marchande et des Ports (OMMP) to enhance accessibility, safety, and compliance with international standards at several strategic ports in Tunisia. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The project covers works at three locations \u2013 Sousse, Menzel-Bourguiba\/Bizerte, and Rad\u00e8s\/La Goulette in Tunisia \u2013 and will require an integrated execution strategy to efficiently manage the geographical spread and optimize operations despite limited on-site storage capacity.<\/p>\n

As part of the contract, DEME will first construct containment dikes in the ports of Menzel-Bourguiba and Sousse. The two ports are located more than 200 kilometers apart, requiring careful planning, coordination, and optimized logistics.<\/p>\n

In the second phase, DEME will carry out extensive dredging works in all three locations. DEME will deploy a trailing suction hopper dredger (TSHD) to execute the dredging works. The project will deploy three distinct approaches for managing the dredged material in a sustainable and efficient manner tailored to the characteristics of each location. In Sousse and Menzel-Bourguiba, the material will be reused for land reclamation. In Bizerte, a combined approach will be adopted, with part of the material reclaimed in Menzel-Bourguiba and the remainder disposed of offshore. In Rad\u00e8s and La Goulette, all dredged material will be pumped ashore to a designated area.<\/p>\n

This contract further strengthens DEME\u2019s presence in North Africa and underlines its expertise in delivering complex dredging and marine infrastructure projects under demanding conditions.<\/p>\n
