Picture of the Day: Digging the New Suez

Egypt launched the New Suez Canal project in August 2014, and the construction was ordered by Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi to be completed in one year.

Some of the world’s top dredging companies are taking part in this capital project that is designed to enlarge the transit capacity and to increase industrial activity in the area.

Included in the project are Boskalis, Van Oord, National Marine Dredging Company (NMDC), Jan de Nul, Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation (GLDD) and Dredging International NV.
