Background
• Maintenance dredging is a vital part of the Port’s asset
management program. It ensures that deep draft vessels
calling at the Port can safely and without delays at the West
Waterway and the berths of T-18, T-30, T-46, and T-91.
• Unit price construction contracts allow for a more efficient and
consistent procurement of a contractor to perform similar
work at multiple terminals.
