NMDC Group has been awarded a significant contract exceeding USD 200 million by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc) for essential marine dredging works as part of the Ruwais LNG Project. This project marks the establishment of the first LNG export facility in the Middle East and Africa to utilize clean energy.
The scope of work includes extensive dredging activities, involving the removal of approximately 15 million cubic meters of material along a 5-kilometer channel with a width of 245 meters. NMDC Group will also be responsible for installing critical navigational aids to ensure safe maritime access to the new LNG facility.
Situated in Al Ruwais Industrial City in Abu Dhabi, Adnoc’s low-carbon LNG project will feature two natural gas liquefaction trains with a combined production capacity of 9.6 million metric tons per annum. The facility’s incorporation of renewable energy-powered electric motors positions it as one of the world’s lowest-carbon-intensity LNG plants.
Yasser Zaghloul, CEO of NMDC Group, stated, “Securing this contract for Adnoc’s pioneering LNG project highlights NMDC Group’s outstanding capabilities in delivering complex marine infrastructure. This project, which leverages clean energy, is in perfect alignment with our deep commitment to sustainability, a core value of our corporate culture. It further strengthens our enduring partnership with Adnoc and underscores our dedication to advancing the UAE’s energy sector.
“We are committed to executing this project with the highest standards of safety, quality, and environmental responsibility. Our innovative approach and technical expertise will be critical in realizing this low-carbon LNG facility, which will significantly enhance the UAE’s position in the global energy landscape,” he added.
Niels de Bruijn, CEO of NMDC Dredging & Marine, commented, “We are honored to be entrusted with this vital marine dredging project by Adnoc. Our team’s vast experience in executing large-scale dredging operations, combined with our state-of-the-art fleet and innovative solutions, will ensure the successful delivery of this project. We are dedicated to supporting the UAE’s vision of becoming a global leader in low-carbon LNG production, and this project represents a major milestone in achieving that goal.”
