Durban port to receive new floating dock next year

The new floating dock will be located in the Bayhead area.

Construction of the Port of Durban’s fourth floating dock is under way.

According to news reports, the contract was awarded to Ukraine-based engineering company, Dormac. Once completed, the dock will accommodate vessels up to 155m in length.

A Dormac spokesperson told FTW Online that the floating dock would add much-needed service capacity to the port while the dry dock undergoes refurbishment.

The dock is currently being built in Ukraine and is expected to be delivered in June next year.
