The Dredging Project of Valencia

Valencia Port Authority (APV) is going to dredge 690,000 cubic meters to deepen existing quays to accommodate vessels of up to 20,000 teu. The work, which will cost €5.2m,
should see both projects finished in mid-2018. The recovered spoil will then be used as infill material for Phase I of the new northern container terminal.

Draft deepening work is currently underway at Levante Quay, where the existing 15.2 meters is being increased to 17metres. APV is investing a total of €18m to allow all three
of its container terminals to handle the latest generation of box ships. Alongside the draft is being deepened to a depth of 17m-18m.

Once dredging work is completed, the port will have 1,900 meters of berthing line capable of accommodating 20,000 teu vessels on Levante, Transversal de Costa and Príncipe
Felipe quays. This will mean that up to four of these vessels can be handled simultaneously in the port.
