The island will have the shape of a crescent and its primary function is to provide shelter for recreational vessels. Approximately 29 million m³ will have to be dredged and reclaimed by means of the trailing suction hopper dredgers ‘Juan Sebastian de Elcano’, ‘Gerardus Mercator’, and the cutter suction dredger ‘JFJ De Nul’. Approximately 3 million m³ of rock will be installed by means of the side stone dumping vessel ‘Pompeï’ and the positioning pontoon ‘DN121’ for the construction of the under water revetment berm. The project started in December 2006 and will last 27 months.
