Tuas reclamation to start soon
Singapore: Singapore’s huge Tuas port project is set to kick off in about three months time with South Korea’s Daelim Industrial and Belgium’s Dredging International set to get reclamation work underway in the middle of the year.
The Tuas project will eventually spawn a 65m teu capacity port as the old port shifts east to make way for commercial property developments more in the heart of the Lion Republic.
Reclamation and dredging works will include building an 8.6 km quay wall, reclaiming about 300 ha of land from the sea, and dredging the navigational channels to deepen the harbour so it can accommodate larger vessels.
The project is expected to be completed by 2021.
