Scope Of Work

NMDC started on this project in September 2008. The works of the project consisted of dredging and reclamation for the new central areas of the Fujairah port, deepening of the then existing port to a depth of -15 meters and to dredge a complete new basin to a depth of -18 meters with some stockpiling of material to be used by the Fujairah Municipality for their expansion project.

Approximately 1,500,000 m3 was dredged for the increased depth of the breakwater berths and 4,900,000 m3 volume was dredged for the new port expansion. This project marked a new milestone for NMDC executing it outside the Abu Dhabi area triggering a big step towards our future development in such geographies.
