Subtech and Royal IHC have taken an important step in the development of dredging capacity in southern Africa, the company said in its release. IHC has delivered an IHC Beaver® 50 cutter suction dredger (CSD) with an extensive option package to Subtech for the Mozambique LNG export project. Here, Subtech has been awarded for the design and construction of a marine offloading jetty by EPC contractor CCS JV, which is a joint venture formed by Saipem, McDermott International and Chiyoda Corporation.
Subtech secured the contract for the first phase of the marine offloading jetty by offering a creative and innovative design to their client CCS JV. The first phase of the jetty’s sand-filled geotextile tube foundations, sheet pile caisson jetty head and access channel requires extensive dredging activities. By investing in the IHC Beaver® 50 CSD, which is currently being commissioned, Subtech can now carry out the dredging work by itself.
