Port services company Boskalis on Tuesday reported an increase in turnover in the first quarter compared with the same period of 2013.

The increase was achieved without the contribution of recently acquired sea transport company Dockwise, whose figures will be included from the second quarter of 2013.

Boskalis said the market is stable and the order book is at the same level as at the end of 2013. The company did not make a forecast for the whole of 2014 but did say capital investment would be €300m.
