DEME advances second phase of dredging works at Patimban Port in Indonesia
This summer, DEME has launched the second phase of capital dredging works in the access channel to Patimban Port, located 145 km east of Jakarta. The trailing suction hopper dredger Brabo has been mobilised to deepen a 3 km stretch of the channel to -14 m below the lowest astronomical tide, with a total dredged volume of approximately 5.5 million m³.
In brief
DEME began the second phase of dredging work in the approach channel to the port of Patimban in Indonesia during the summer season. Deepening of the 3-kilometre section to a depth of -14 m below the lowest water level is carried out by the trailing suction hopper dredger Brabo, and the total volume of dredged material is about 5.5 million cubic metres. The work continues the deepening of the inner basin completed in 2024 and is carried out with the consortium of Penta Ocean, Toyo Rinkai, PP, Wika and Jakon. The port of Patimban, located 145 km east of Jakarta, is to reach a handling capacity of 7.5 million TEU.
The current scope follows the successful deepening of the inner basin in 2024 and is being executed in collaboration with the Penta Ocean–Toyo Rinkai–PP–Wika–Jakon consortium.
Patimban Port is a strategic national project and is set to become one of Indonesia’s largest container ports, with a future handling capacity of 7.5 million TEUs. The capital dredging works are a key step in ensuring safe access for larger vessels and strengthening the port’s role as a major logistics hub in the region.
