Consortium selected for dredging works at Saudi Arabia’s Port of NEOM

A consortium formed by marine construction specialists Saudi Archirodon and DEME has been awarded the second phase of transformation work for the Port of NEOM, the primary seaport of entry to northwest Saudi Arabia.

Based in Oxagon, the Port of NEOM is strategically located along the coast of the Red Sea and is adjacent to the nearby Suez Canal. The port will facilitate the import of goods and materials during the development phase and is slated to become a new global port serving the region.

The project will commence in December 2023. DEME will work Archirodon to undertake dredging activities to help form the basin that will enable larger ships to call at the port.

DEME said that all materials recovered as part of the channel development will be used to support the wider development of Oxagon.
