Following years of disruption caused by political instability, the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2020 port explosion, the Port of Beirut sought to restore the navigable depth of Basin 4 to accommodate larger vessels and strengthen its position as Lebanon's primary maritime gateway. Haskoning was commissioned by a consortium led by Boskalis and Van Oord to assess whether the proposed dredging works would deliver sufficient economic value to justify the investment.
Haskoning conducted a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis, incorporating market research, traffic forecasting, transport cost modelling and sensitivity analysis. The study compared the proposed dredging scenario against the existing situation, evaluating impacts on shipping costs, cargo volumes and port performance. The analysis concluded that the long-term economic benefits of restoring deeper berths would outweigh the investment costs, providing evidence to support future funding and redevelopment of the port.
Three Seas Initiative Investment Fund engaged Haskoning to undertake a comprehensive due diligence assessment of BMF Port Burgas EAD as part of its consideration of a potential investment. The client required an independent evaluation of the port's commercial performance, technical condition, environmental and ESG considerations, as well as its long-term growth potential, risks and investment opportunities. Haskoning delivered an integrated commercial, technical and environmental due diligence report alongside a strategic business plan, drawing on site visits, stakeholder engagement and detailed market analysis. The study assessed the port's competitive position, operational performance, future traffic forecasts, CAPEX and OPEX requirements, and opportunities for improvement. The findings gave the client the confidence to proceed with the investment, which was successfully completed in 2022.
