Project record
Callao access-channel and inner-roadstead maintenance dredging
Peru's SEACE adjudications dataset identifies Jan De Nul N.V. Sucursal del Peru as award recipient for maintenance dredging in Callao's access channel and inner roadstead, with a source-reported awarded amount of USD 59,694,989.93. APN announced physical works from 20 December 2025 to an estimated 7 February 2026 and a safe-depth objective of up to -16.50 m. APN later published Jan De Nul's post-dredging environmental report, revised 9 March 2026 and based on January monitoring, establishing that the campaign reached a post-dredging evidence stage without proving formal owner acceptance or final commercial closeout.

Project anatomy
Contract scope and delivery roles
- Client / authority
- Autoridad Portuaria Nacional under Peru's Ministry of Transport and Communications
- Delivery parties
- Jan De Nul N.V. Sucursal del Peru - SEACE award recipient and author of the published post-dredging environmental report, Hydrographic surveyor, disposal-site operator, environmental laboratories, marine support craft and other lower-tier providers - not identified in the cited public records
- Contract route
- The 2025 SEACE adjudications workbook classifies the specialized maintenance-dredging service as Contratado, names APN as buyer and Jan De Nul N.V. Sucursal del Peru as award recipient, and reports USD 59,694,989.93. The open-data row does not expose the executed instrument, variation history, payment certificates, taxes or final account.
- Execution window
- APN announced a 20 December 2025 start and an estimated 7 February 2026 finish without interrupting commercial vessel operations. The published post-dredging report records January 2026 monitoring and a 9 March 2026 document revision. These dates support a post-dredging phase but do not establish the owner's final completion certificate or commercial closeout.
- Works package
- The public package covers maintenance dredging in Callao's common port areas: the access channel and inner roadstead. APN's stated objective was to recover safe operating depths of up to -16.50 m. Public sources reviewed do not disclose the final measured volume, dredging limits by reach, over-dredge tolerance, vessel spread, disposal quantities, accepted depth surfaces or payment measurement.
- Marine interfaces
- The campaign interfaces with continuous commercial navigation, fisheries and mariculture activity, dredging and disposal controls, turbidity and water-quality monitoring, bathymetric survey, port traffic management and safe-depth release. PRODUCE recorded stakeholder concern and permanent environmental monitoring during works, making environmental closeout and transparent survey evidence material to acceptance.
- Commercial evidence boundary
- The USD 59.695 million SEACE awarded-item total is a procurement record, not a certified final account. Without the signed instrument and bill of quantities, it does not reveal the commercial split among dredging production, disposal, surveys, monitoring, standby, variation and support services.
