Abu Dhabi, UAE: 6 November 2024 –  NMDC Dredging & Marine, part of NMDC Group, a global leader in engineering, procurement, construction (EPC), and marine dredging (Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange: NMDC), is set to begin work on a project valued for more than USD 300 million at TA’ZIZ, the UAE’s world-class chemicals and transition fuels ecosystem.
