USACE Wilmington awards contract for Wilmington harbor maintenance dredging

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wilmington District announces the award of a contract for the Wilmington Harbor Anchorage Basin and Mid-River Maintenance Dredging.

The contract has been awarded to Norfolk Dredging Company for $17,116,750.

This dredging project will ensure safe and efficient passage for commercial vessels, supporting jobs and commerce throughout the Cape Fear region and beyond.

Regular dredging is essential to remove accumulated sediment, which can impede vessel traffic and limit cargo capacity, thus impacting the Port of Wilmington’s operations and its critical role in the supply chain.
