Oman's Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Water Resources tendered maintenance, rehabilitation and dredging at Bukha Fishery Harbour under 562/2023/MAFWR/HQ-50. Masirah Island International says it is undertaking repairs, renovation and modernization of existing harbour infrastructure and dredging the basin and approach channel, with Engineers House Engineering Consultancy named in the project team. A later Oman News Agency interview says the port in Bukha town was being maintained. Award amount, measured dredging quantity, target depth, subcontractors, formal completion date and the acceptance certificate remain undisclosed.

Project anatomy

Contract scope and delivery roles

Client / authority
Oman Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Water Resources
Delivery parties
Masirah Island International LLC (MII) - project-specific maintenance, rehabilitation and dredging contractor, Engineers House Engineering Consultancy - project-specific engineering consultant named by MII; exact design, supervision and certification scope is not separately published, Dredging plant, marine survey, rock, concrete, mechanical, electrical and other lower-tier suppliers - not publicly identified
Contract route
Open local Oman eTender 562/2023/MAFWR/HQ-50 was published in the Q3 2023 open-data package under the Ministry and the ports, roads, bridges, railways and dams construction-and-maintenance category. The quarterly record captured the procedure in bidding and did not publish a winner, value or signed contract. MII's later exact-project page supplies the public execution link but does not disclose the contract number, award date, value or downstream subcontract chain.
Execution window
The official quarterly record dates the tender to 25 July 2023. Public tender metadata placed bid closing in September 2023. MII subsequently published the Bukha works as a current marine-construction project, and a 2025 Oman News Agency interview said the port in Bukha town was being maintained. No controlled source gives notice to proceed, substantial completion, taking-over, defects-period or final-account dates.
Works package
Maintain, repair, renovate and modernize existing Bukha Fishery Harbour infrastructure and facilities, and dredge the harbour basin and approach channel to improve navigability and access. MII publishes exact-project images of harbour works and a marine excavator operating from a spud platform. The sources do not state design depth, dredged volume, sediment classification, disposal or beneficial-use route, structure quantities, marine furniture, utilities, navigation-aid scope or testing criteria.
Marine interfaces
Dredging production and hydrographic control must be coordinated with an operating artisanal-fishing harbour, existing breakwaters and landing areas, construction access, environmental controls, navigation safety and the repair sequence for shoreside and marine assets. The public record does not identify the survey datum, temporary navigation plan, sediment route, operating restrictions or authority acceptance gates.
Commercial evidence boundary
Tender estimate, winning price, contract value, variation history, certified payment and final account remain undisclosed. The MII project page identifies execution but contains no commercial amount, and the eTender quarterly workbook records only the procurement stage. Any value attributed from a separate Bukha, Musandam or fishing-port project would be unsafe.
