Boskalis acquires EUR 60 million contract for Stockholm Norvik Port
July 19 2017 - 1:30AM
Papendrecht, 19 July 2017
Royal Boskalis Westminster N.V. (Boskalis) has
been awarded a contract by Ports of Stockholm to construct the quay
wall for the new Stockholm Norvik Port in Sweden. The contract
value amounts to approximately EUR 60 million. The project will
commence in the autumn of 2017 and should be completed in the
spring of 2020.
Stockholm Norvik Port, the new freight port for
rolling goods and containers, will be constructed in Norvikudden
located 60 km south of Stockholm. The port will have seven berths
for container ships and RoRo ferries. Boskalis will construct 1,100
meters of quay wall according to the design of the Port of
Stockholm. The depth of the quay wall will vary between 16.5 and
10.5 meters. Part of the quay wall will be constructed by
installing heavy precast concrete elements produced by Boskalis
with the assistance of a large crane.
Between September 2016 and March 2017 Boskalis
also executed land reclamation activities for the new Stockholm
Norvik Port. For this purpose around one million cubic meters was
dredged using a large variety of dredging equipment.
The Boskalis strategy is designed to benefit from
the key macro-economic drivers that fuel global demand in our
selected markets: global trade, increasing energy consumption,
population growth and the challenges of changing climate
conditions. This project is driven by the growth in global
trade.
