The US Army Corps of Engineers has awarded a US$97.9 million construction contract to Callan Marine to complete the second phase of the four-phase Corpus Christi Ship Channel Improvement Project, reports the American Journal of Transportation.
The project increases the channel depth from -47 feet Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) to -54 ft MLLW, and widens the channel to 530 feet with an additional 400 feet of barge shelves.
This second contract award follows the completion of Contract 1, which Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Company, LLC. (GLDD) completed on time in March 2020, deepening and widening the CCSC from the Gulf of Mexico to Harbor Island.
Contract 2 will deepen and widen the Corpus Christi Ship Channel from Harbor Island to 2.7 miles past the LA Quinta Junction and includes Ingleside where three large crude export marine terminal operators, Buckeye Partners, Moda Midstream, and Flint Hills Resources, will directly benefit.
"This contract is vital for us to continue the deepening and widening of the existing Corpus Christi Ship Channel. The work will improve energy product transportation throughout at the Port of Corpus Christi by allowing larger vessels more efficient access, which will boost the economic competitive advantage and energy security of the United States for decades to come," said Colonel Timothy Vail, USACE Galveston District Commander.
