Urbanco officially launched Phase 3 of the Hulhumale’ land reclamation project this morning.
The overall objective of the project, conducted by Boskalis’ trailing suction hopper dredger (TSHD) Willem Van Oranje , is to address the persistent housing crisis in the city, with the entire initiative segmented into multiple phases.
According to Urbanco, the first phase successfully reclaimed 10 hectares of land before a brief pause in operations.
Under the administration of the current government, Phase 2 is actively progressing to reclaim an additional 29 hectares in three distinct stages.
The final phase is set to focus on the reclamation of 63 hectares.
