Port quay contract, including backhoe dredgers, grab dredgers, drill platforms, work pontoons, piling units, self-propelled barges, slipform casting equipment and floating cranes. The logistics and servic-

ing of the equipment and accessories have played a significant role in the extensive, over two-year-long contract.
