First stone laying ceremony for dredging and coastal defense works in the port of Livorno

A major milestone for the Port of Livorno! Yesterday, DEME proudly took part in the first stone laying ceremony for the dredging and coastal defense works that mark the start of the Piattaforma Europa project. This ambitious upgrade will transform Livorno into an even more powerful logistics hub for Tuscany, with 3 km of docks, two terminals, and 2 million m² of new port area.

DEME and its joint venture partners will deliver:
- 14.5 million m³ of dredging 
- Deepening the access channel to -17 m and the internal basins and docks to -16 m 
- Two new breakwaters 
- Relocation of the existing Meloria breakwater 
- Reusing dredged material to build the future platform

DEME has a strong track record in the Port of Livorno, including dredging projects at Molo Italia and the port’s southern entrance. Our Italian team is excited to help shape the next chapter of this strategic port!
