He noted recent investments have equipped Port-La Nouvelle to serve new energy demands which aligns with the port’s vision to become a Mediterranean gateway for renewable energies aims to place Port-La Nouvelle at the forefront of hydrogen importation in Europe The partners have initiated feasibility studies and design assessments focusing on ensuring Port-La Nouvelle can accommodate the infrastructure needed for this ambitious project This endeavour marks a concerted effort to secure a sustainable energy future for the Occitanie region and the broader European market Sign up for Riviera’s series of technical and operational webinars and conferences: A consortium of partners is looking to establish an essential hub for low-carbon hydrogen and CO2 management in the Mediterranean within Port-La Nouvelle in France. On September 20, 2024, a memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed between the Occitanie Region, DEME Concessions NV, Euroports and Teréga. The ambitious project is part of the energy transition, both at regional and European level, the parties said. Specifically, the partnership aims to develop port and logistics infrastructures in Port-La Nouvelle dedicated to the future flows of clean molecules such as hydrogen as well as to those relating to CO2, and other alternative fuels or low-carbon by-products. The partners will collaborate on a feasibility assessment and design of these infrastructures in close coordination with local stakeholders. In collaboration with European projects such as the HySoW hydrogen corridors, or those related to CO2, these initiatives will connect the port of Port-La Nouvelle to major hydrogen and CO2 transport infrastructures, thus strengthening its role in the energy transition. The development of the port infrastructure will transform the port of Port-La-Nouvelle into a platform for the import and export of hydrogen, CO2 and low-carbon by-products. Eventually, hydrogen import capacity could reach 2 million tons per year. SEMOP Port-La Nouvelle is the concessionaire of the port of Port-La Nouvelle, for which the Occitanie Region is the concession grantor. While the region is a public partner within SEMOP, Euroports and DEME Concessions are industrial partners. Teréga, a long-standing player in gas transport and storage in the south-west of France, is thus investing alongside these players through this partnership. The port of Port-La Nouvelle is expanding rapidly. At this stage, SEMOP has already carried out major extension work in deep waters, including the dredging of the port at 15.9 meters to accommodate large seagoing ships and the creation of more than 150 hectares of land area. In addition to these achievements, the construction of specialized jetties for the handling of liquid bulk is ongoing. This extension will be operational in 2026. This partnership is said to be fully in line with the REPOS strategy of the Occitanie Region, which aims to become a POSitive Energy Region and meet 100% of energy needs with renewable energies by 2050. It will thus contribute to strengthening the industrial and energy attractiveness of the region while promoting job creation. “By leveraging our expertise in port logistics, we are proud to contribute to the potential development of Port-La-Nouvelle as a strategic hub for green hydrogen and CO2 management. Together with our partners, we aim to build sustainable infrastructure that supports Europe’s transition to a carbon-neutral future, while reinforcing the Mediterranean’s role in global energy logistics,” Frédéric Platini, CEO of Euroports, said.

The first phase involved dredging the access channel to a depth of -12.50 meters, with further deepening to -14 meters. DEME said that they delivered a strong performance for the first half of 2024, adding that their Dredging & Infra segment reported a turnover of almost one billion euro, 39% higher than a year ago. In Europe, Dredging & Infra continued working on maintenance contracts in Belgium and Germany, securing access to some of the most important ports in Europe. In Germany, the segment is working on widening the Kiel Canal. In the UK, Dredging & Infra secured a new contract to maintain the access channel to London Gateway Port along the River Thames, following the successful completion of a berth construction. In Italy, Dredging & Infra is executing modernisation works in Ravenna, as well as in Augusta, Sicily, and is preparing extension works for the ports of Livorno, Naples and Cagliari, Sardinia. In France, Dredging & Infra completed rock dredging works at La Pallice, La Rochelle, and continued deepening works at the harbour of Port-La Nouvelle. At Port-La Nouvelle, civil works advanced to the next phase with the construction of a new jetty. Meanwhile, in the Netherlands, in Leiden, the Rijnlandroute, including the bore ‘Corbulotunnel’, was officially opened in July. The New Lock Terneuzen as well as the Blankenburg Connection projects are nearing completion, marking important milestones given the size, complexity and duration of such projects and demonstrating DEME’s ability to leverage synergies across various activities. In Belgium, good progress was made in constructing tunnel elements for the Scheldt Tunnel, part of the Oosterweel Connection project in Antwerp, Belgium. For the Belgian Princess Elisabeth Island, the first caissons are being built and the first marine works have started, including seabed preparation and foundation layer installation. Related to the same project, DEME’s Offshore Energy segment won a new large subsea cabling contract to connect the energy island with the Belgian onshore electricity grid. In Denmark, the Fehmarnbelt tunnel project is progressing, with the first tunnel element inaugurated by the King of Denmark in June, and the delivery of project-specific designed marine equipment. Overseas, Dredging & Infra made notable progress establishing its presence in Asia Pacific with port maintenance projects in both India and Malaysia as well as land reclamation works in the Maldives. The Dredging & Infra segment is also further executing seabed preparation dredging works for some offshore energy projects in Malaysia, Taiwan and Australia. In West Africa, Dredging & Infra is initiating a coastal protection project in the Ivory Coast, remains active with land reclamation works in Nigeria, and has maintenance dredging projects underway in Congo, Angola, Gabon and Guinea. In the Middle East, the segment continued capital dredging and land reclamation works for the extension of the port of Abu Qir in Egypt. In Abu Dhabi multiple hopper and cutter suction dredgers remained in operation. For the port of Oxagon Phase 2 project in Saudi Arabia, a large multi-year project awarded in the last quarter of 2023, the dry earth excavation works are advancing well in anticipation of the upcoming cutter suction dredging works. Vessel occupancy for the first half of the year for both the trailing suction hopper dredger fleet and the cutter fleet increased compared to the first and the second half of last year, driven by recent contract wins and strong backlog. The EBITDA margin in the Dredging & Infra segment increased to 19% for the first half 2024 from 14% for the first half of 2023, mainly driven by higher activity levels and strong project execution.

“Through means of no less than 3 different types of dredgers but also several berthing pockets for yet-to-be-built quays,” said Jonas Ryvers “The dredged material is mostly pumped towards a vast reclamation area where we’re turning a fallow swamp area into a 6 hectare marshaling platform.” All of this is set to serve the booming offshore wind industry in France Baars BV is playing an important role in the expansion project of the Port of La Rochelle we deepen maritime accesses by dredging and excavating rocks contributing to the development of this vital port,” said Baars This

become a staple of renewable energy production But so far it has been mostly limited to shallow waters restricting how many countries can take advantage of it That could soon change thanks to floating wind The technology consists of a turbine mounted on a buoyant substructure and anchored to the seabed with chains This means it can be deployed in seas of 300 metres deep and more, compared to the more traditional system of mounting turbines on the seabed which becomes uneconomical in depths of more than 60 metres Because it allows wind production in deeper waters, the technology is expected to bring wind energy to new markets, including in the Mediterranean and it is hoped that it will be fully commercial by the end of this decade “Floating offshore wind is a crucial player in the battle against climate change,” says Lorenzo Palombi global commercial and finance director of projects at German-based energy company BayWa r.e “Its unique ability to tap into markets incompatible with bottom-fixed technologies and unlock areas with higher wind potential positions it as a key solution.” Europe is currently leading on floating wind, according tofigures from the Global Wind Energy Council The region lost its title as the world’s largest offshore wind market in 2022 with the US and China overtaking it in new additions making up 79 per cent of new additions last year it boasts 208 megawatts of capacity - or 88 per cent of global installations The majority of this comes from small demo projects but countries are beginning to look at ramping up production to commercial level France is on track to develop the world’s first commercial floating wind farm The Pennavel project will be built off the coast of Brittany and is scheduled to be commissioned by 2031 It is expected to produce 250 megawatts - enough to provide power for 450,000 people every year Asian countries are also looking into floating wind the Japanese government announced four candidate areas for demo projects and the Marubeni Offshore Wind Development Corporation announced a demo project with two turbines in waters around 400 metres deep South Korea also has a lot of potential and is developing what will be one of the largest floating wind farms so far once it is completed in 2028 The country is also seeing positive developments when it comes to manufacturing and port investment says Rebecca Williams from the Global Wind Energy Council “I think we're seeing that some of the Asian countries are now giving Europe a run for its money,” she says “We think that there is a lot of scope for collaboration on the topic of floating wind and particularly on floating wind supply chains,” she adds Developing floating wind will not only allow the production of green but could also help revive coastal communities the Pennavel project has pledged to use ‘local content’ It is also spending €5 million on economic development in the area Floating wind can also help drive investments in ports These are needed for all offshore wind projects but are particularly crucial for floating because most of the construction takes place inside the port to avoid being affected by weather conditions “If we compare with a bottom-fixed project we can roughly say that 80 per cent of the project is directly at sea It's 80 per cent inside the port,” says Thomas Debize from Port-La-Nouvelle a French port built specifically for projects like floating wind The port is looking to cash in on France’s ambitions to develop wind power in the Mediterranean as well as the ambitions of neighbouring countries which will need floating technology due to the depth of the sea Port-La-Nouvelle is a rare case of a port designed for floating wind there will need to be port upgrade programmes to increase the space available to construct projects and accommodate their supply chains something that is both a challenge and an opportunity “We've seen from the experience in fixed-bottom wind in Europe how ports can be used to really facilitate local growth of local coastal communities,” she explains One example could happen in the UK. Speaking at a port in North Wales in March, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer announced that the party’s envisioned state-owned energy company will fund the construction of floating wind He emphasised Wales’ potential and said the party wants to unlock billions in private investment to turbocharge jobs “I think the Labour Party sees the social value as well as the economic value from the energy in floating offshore wind because, especially in the south of Wales you have post-industrial towns neglected port towns that are really in need of a boost and some investment,” says Chris Rosslowe from energy think tank Ember “You can invest in these ports. You deliver social benefits and jobs to these towns in the south of Wales Maybe this will link to the steel industry as well - that obviously has a lot of uncertainty over it right now in the south of Wales,” he adds Alongside physical infrastructure, like ports and grid connections floating wind also needs certainty from governments One of the reasons the UK is viewed as a strong candidate is because it has been clear about its ambition and support for projects “What that's done is really focus the minds of investors [who] can see the direction of travel that the UK is going in and then they can put some money behind it,” says Williams Governments also need to take into account how current economic difficulties impact projects as inflation and other market dynamics increase the cost of projects The Global Wind Energy Council has revised some of its projections down due to this but Williams expects growth to be quick once the sector overcomes the headwinds She sees realising the potential of floating wind as key, both to help the world meet its goal to triple renewables and to provide opportunities for industry “This is about seizing the opportunity and getting on the front foot before you become a taker of technology or a taker of the energy transition thinking about how you can be part of an opportunity-focused growth story where you can build a new economic model for your country or for your market,” says Williams The Lekki Deep Sea Port Project is moving ahead – 61.07% of the construction works have been completed so far Deep Sea Port at the heart of the Lagos Free Trade Zone Lekki Deep Sea Port is set to be one of the most modern ports in West Africa offering enormous support to the burgeoning commercial operation across Nigeria and the entire West African region “China Habour Engineering Company (CHEC) and Tolaram have demonstrated a very high sense of commitment and capability especially by keeping to the construction schedule and timelines,” said the Executive Governor of Lagos State, Mr “I am excited to lead the team to work on this project we have made a lot of progress not only on the funding but also on the construction work This is a demonstration of China’s commitment to the development of Nigeria’s economy,” added the Managing Director of Lekki Port, Mr The project will be put into operation before the end of 2022 News release from Vestas Mediterranean Madrid TotalEnergies and BW Ideol has placed a 30 MW order for the Eolmed offshore wind park a floating project located 18 km off the coast of Gruissan and Port-la Nouvelle installation supervision and commissioning of three V164-10.0 MW wind turbines The turbines will be installed on floating foundations in Port-la Nouvelle and towed to their final location where they
