Port and marine terminal projects mix marine works, heavy handling equipment and complex trade stakeholders under tight tidal and vessel windows.

It reflects container, bulk and multipurpose terminal projects along African coastlines.

  • Plan marine and landside works across dredging, quays, yards and equipment.
  • Sequence works around vessel schedules and tidal windows.
  • Manage marine contractors and specialist equipment suppliers.
