The Bahamas says a Dutch marine engineering company has won the contract to dredge 2 million cubic yards (1.53 million cubic meters) of sand and mud from a Nassau harbor to accommodate the world's largest ships. Robert Garraway is an engineer with the Ministry of Works and Transport. He says Royal Boskalis Westminster N.V. has been awarded the $45 million contract from a pool of five bidders.
Garraway said Monday that harbor dredging should be completed by November in order to handle Royal Caribbean's "Project Genesis" mega-cruisers, including the Oasis of the Seas, a 5,400-passenger ship due to arrive in December.
Boskalis is best known for dredging, but also builds harbors and waterways and provides terminal transport services.
