Introduction to the conference

5 - 6 November 2009, Rotterdam, The Netherlands

Many technological innovations have been introduced since 2003, when CEDA Dredging Days was dedicated to dredging tools and technology. Today the industry faces new challenges and experiences the exciting emergence of new opportunities. Rising energy costs, climate change, increasing demands for dredging services in new regions, the appearance of new customers, plant shortages and the need for sustainable dredging solutions are just a few examples from a long list of new challenges that are shaping the industry of today and of the near future. CEDA Dredging Days 2009 will demonstrate how the dredging industry responds to these new trends. Scientists and practitioners representing equipment manufactures, consultancies, dredging companies and academia will present their achievements and - in particular - their visions for the future.
