Boskalis to Create Barrier Islands17/06/2010 |
| In line with the recently approved sand berm plans by the President of the US, the State of Louisiana has contracted Royal Boskalis Westminster to deliver sand for berms to protect the Louisiana coast from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The Boskalis trailing suction hopper dredger Stuyvesant, which sails under the American flag, has been deployed as the first US hopper. The sand berms, which will be approximately 75 km long, will be positioned to the south of New Orleans, in line with the Chandeleur Islands and stretching from East Grand Terre island to Sandy Point. |

Boskalis is also supplying its expertise, supporting the authorities with the installation and deployment of the rigid sweeping arms made available by the Dutch Ministry of Transport, Public Works and Water Management. Boskalis has years of experience in this field and we have teamed up with the Dutch Ministry successfully in the past to clean up oil throughout Europe.
