Port Development
Contributing to the development and extension of ports and navigation channels globally.
Your lighthouse for complex projects
Port Development is a complex endeavour that requires careful organising, precise planning, and a high degree of specialised knowledge. With our experience since 1968, a large and modern fleet of specially built, versatile vessels, and the combined competencies of our many dedicated employees, we can ensure an effective project process combining both filling of caissons, Land Reclamation, Rock Installation, and Capital and Maintenance Dredging.
We meet and exceed the demands of our clients through our broad selection of competencies in designing, planning and constructing resilient Port Development. The combined efforts benefit the overall project finance, the process, and the construction quality.

We enable global logistics through local expertise
All of our Port Development activities require an extraordinary combination of project planning and execution, technical capabilities, and versatile equipment to achieve solutions of the highest quality within the deadline and budget. Rohde Nielsen is capable of dredging all material densities and seabed types. Whether it is the creation of new quays, terminals, waterways, or to deepen existing facilities – Rohde Nielsen can deliver.
When it comes to reclaiming land and filling of caissons, we have refined the methods using sea-dredged sand, ensuring speed and cost efficiency. Maintenance dredging is a continuous process, and Rohde Nielsen has long-term maintenance dredging contracts with a considerable number of clients all over the world. We assume the responsibility for keeping the ports open and ensuring the necessary depths of water year after year. We are also capable of performing a multitude of rock installation services using our grab dredgers, fall pipe vessels, and other specialised equipment, ensuring impeccable results.
