About

Executing large-scale national projects in dredging and marine works demands a company distinguished by its possession of substantial equipment and a highly proficient and experienced team.

In pursuit of contributing to the national renaissance, Mr. Dawood Abdulaziz Al-Dawood founded the Saudi Dredging Company in 1978, situated in the city of Al-Khobar, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Our fleet is well-suited for a variety of dredging operations. Coupled with a team of operators and professionals boasting practical experience, we are well-prepared to oversee and execute a diverse range of marine projects, including drilling, port deepening, reclamation, breakwater installation, wharfs, and various other marine works.

Since its inception, the Saudi Dredging Company has successfully implemented numerous projects in the Eastern Province of the Kingdom.
