Ocean Dredging Signs Multi-Year Dredging Contract

Ocean Dredging DS, a Quebec based maritime company, signed its first multi-year dredging contract with Empressa Generadora de Electricidad Itabo in the Dominican Republic. The maintenance work will be done annually with crews of the Ocean Traverse Nord dredge to sustain adequate depths for safe access to the port.

“In recent years, we have continued to increase our presence in the Caribbean through our service offering and the renewed confidence of our customers. The signing of this agreement with the Itabo Company, with which we have been doing business for several years, reinforces this approach. At Ocean, we build our relationships in order to be a trusted partner for all our customers, “said François Lessard, general manager, marine works and dredging.

Ocean’s local partner in the Dominican Republic is E&M International Consulting. Ocean works in shipbuilding and repair, harbor towing and transportation and marine equipment and dredging rentals.
