The global harbor deepening market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 2.5% during the forecast period. The major factors contributing to the growth of the market include the rising funding for harbor deepening projects and significant growth in the oil & gas industry. A significant rise in the number of harbor deepening projects was reported globally owing to the increasing focus on international trade across the globe. For instance, in June 2018, the Charleston Harbor deepening project was allocated $49 million in federal funds in the Army Corps of Engineers’ FY 2018 work plan. This would enable dredging work to continue as S.C. Ports Authority is looking for more funding for future contracts. 

In this project, the next step will be the deepening of the Wando River and Charleston Harbor from 45 feet to 52 feet by 2021. This will create more depth for containerships that accesses the three-berth Wando Welch Terminal in Mount Pleasant and enabling them to move at any time of day, not just during high tides. The Charleston Harbor deepening is one of the highly strategic priorities for the state of South Carolina. The Southeast requires a 52-foot harbor for effectively managing the large containerships at the East Coast. 

Further, in September 2019, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has awarded JAXPORT an additional $35.3 million in funding for the Jacksonville Harbor Deepening project. This financing is intended for exercising the second phase of the US Army Corps of Engineers’ contract B. This will deepen the project’s next 2.5 miles. Up to the present time, the state of Florida has led approximately $71.5 million for harbor deepening. This funding, along with increased financial support from a private tenant and the federal government, will facilitate the project two years ahead of schedule with expected completion in 2023. These kinds of ongoing projects are supporting to drive the growth of the harbor deepening market. However, certain factors are restricting the market growth, which includes the shortage of trained and qualified personnel, inadequate dredger repair capabilities across the countries, and lack of inadequate investigation techniques. 

Segment Outlook

The global harbor deepening market is segmented into application and end-user. Based on the application, the market is classified into capital dredging, trade maintenance, coastal protection, and urban development. Based on end-user, the market is classified into government organizations, private organizations, oil & gas companies, and mining & energy companies. 

Global Harbor Deepening Market: By End-User

Government organizations are anticipated to hold a significant share in the market in 2018. The increasing number of government projects to enhance port and coastal infrastructure and achieve strong maritime trade linkages is fueling the growth of harbor deepening market in government segment. As per the International Maritime Organization (IMO), 90% of the global trade is carried through the sea. Therefore, governments across the globe are focusing on enhancing their maritime transport infrastructure. As a result, the growth in harbor deepening projects has been witnessed to conduct smooth trade operations.

There are several governments backed harbor deepening projects reported over the years across the countries, including the US, Ukraine, and Germany. For instance, in June 2019, China Harbor Engineering Company Ltd. (CHEC), in partnership with the Ukrainian Sea Ports Authority, has finished the dredging project at the Chernomorsk seaport. The project is intended to increase the competitiveness of Ukraine’s port's in the Black Sea and enable private and state stevedoring companies functioning in the port to attract new cargo traffic. 

In 2018, CHEC was chosen as the contractor in open bidding and has supported the Ukrainian Sea Ports Authority save nearly $1.5 million in this dredging project. Such kinds of government projects to promote maritime trade operations are primarily attributing to the investment in harbor deepening by the government organizations.

Regional Outlook

Geographically, the global harbor deepening market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and rest of the world (RoW). Asia-Pacific is estimated to grow significantly during the forecast period owing to the emerging focus on dredging operations coupled with significant maritime trade operations in the country. For instance, as per the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), nearly 95% of India's trading by volume and 70% by value is performed by maritime transport. The country has 12 major and 205 notified intermediate and minor ports. With several maritime programs, including the Jal Marg Vikas and Sagarmala, the union government is emphasizing on developing and maintaining deeper depths at inland waterways and ports. Under the National Perspective Plan for Sagarmala, six new mega ports will be developed in the country. 

India is the sixteenth largest maritime country across the globe, with a coastline of nearly 7,517 km (according to the IBEF). The Indian government has crucial importance in encouraging the ports sector. For instance, under the automatic route, it has allowed Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) of up to 100% for harbor and port construction and maintenance projects. Therefore, long-term contracts and new funding sources are being explored in India. This will lead to creating opportunities regarding the procurement of harbor deepening instruments in the country.
