DC DREDGING BV’s main sphere of activity encompasses dredging and the production of marine and fluvial aggregates, as well as different types of sand. DC DREDGING owns six sea-going Trailing Suction Hopper Dredgers. The sand and aggregates produced by these six vessels are transported to our customers by smaller transportation vessels and barges also owned.
All dredgers are equipped with a pump system for recovering oil spills after shipping accidents in the North sea and are under contract with the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) or with the Dutch government (Rijkwaterstaat).
