Channel dredging project

Pilbara Ports Authority (PPA) has selected construction and maintenance services provider Jan De Nul to dredge the channel and improve access to Port Hedland, as part of its Channel Risk and Optimisation Project to sustain the long-term operation, development and future growth of the port.

As part of the project, Jan De Nul will mobilise a large self-propelled Cutter Suction Dredger during the first quarter of this year.

The project will provide an emergency passing lane alongside the shipping channel, enhanced water refuge zones and increased water depth in targeted access channel areas. It is schedule for completion by mid-year.
