DEME secures another contract in Australia
Belgian dredging contractor DEME has announced that it has been awarded a contract to deepen a berth at Fisherman’s Island in Queensland in Australia.
DEME officials said that "This is another commodity related project, allowing Rio Tinto Aluminium to expand its alumina refinery and increase the annual output of smelter grade alumina from that area."
The work is being managed by Central Queensland Port Authority. Dredeco’s CSD Wombat will execute the project in 2 phases, starting early in 2008. Dredeco is a subsidiary of DEME.
