Dutra’s deep expertise ensures that commercial shipping channels, harbors, and terminals remain safe, navigable, and efficient for modern vessels.

Our team provides a full range of services—from new port construction and bulkhead installation to channel deepening, maintenance dredging, and shoreline protection.
