Collaborating for a Future-Proof Dutch Dredging Industry
Future dredging scenarios
The report explores different future scenarios for the industry, ranging from continued global leadership driven by innovation and sustainability to a more fragmented sector influenced by regional protectionism and resource scarcity.
NMT-IRO calls on the government, industry, and knowledge institutions to collaborate on innovation and invest strategically in people and technology. By doing so, the dredging industry can remain relevant and continue to lead the way.
Our contribution
At Marimecs, we are eager to contribute to this transition. With our expertise in practical engineering, we support both newbuild projects and the sustainable optimization of existing vessels by refit or conversion.
Optimization of existing dredgers
We enhance energy efficiency through hydrodynamic optimizations, propulsion upgrades, and advanced energy management.
Our expertise includes integrating hybrid or fully electric propulsion systems and adapting vessels for alternative fuels such as methanol or LNG. Additionally, we support emission reduction through exhaust treatment systems and optimized ballast water and waste management solutions.
Efficient newbuild design
Marimecs provides complete design solutions for dredgers, from small inshore vessels up to large-sized trailing suction hopper dredgers.
Our naval architects use CFD analysis to optimize hull shapes for maximum energy efficiency. We ensure compliance with the latest sustainability regulations while keeping operations cost-effective and adaptable to future developments.
Working together
At Marimecs, we are used to collaborating on larger projects and actively sharing our knowledge. By working together, we can drive innovation and contribute to a greener, more future-proof dredging sector in the Netherlands.
