Jan De Nul Group launches dredging operations at Port Hedland

Jan De Nul Group is reinforcing its long-standing presence in Port Hedland, where its dredging vessel, J.F.J. De Nul, has begun capital dredging and land reclamation works for the development of the Lumsden Point General Cargo Facility and Logistics Hub, in accordance with strict environmental regulations.

Located on Australia’s North-West coast, Port Hedland is the country’s largest export port by annual throughput. The expansion project will enhance the port’s capacity to export battery metals, such as lithium and copper concentrates, while also supporting the import of renewable energy infrastructure, including wind turbines and blades.

The cutter suction dredger J.F.J. De Nul is set to dredge up to one million cubic metres of material to create a deeper access channel, swing basin, and two berth pockets, allowing safe navigation and docking for various vessels, including bulk carriers, tankers, and roll-on/roll-off ships transporting wheeled cargo, such as cars and trucks.

Additionally, a 100,000m² area enclosed by a seawall will be reclaimed for the construction of the future Lumsden Point wharf.
