The conference delegates came from the Gulf, India, Far East and Europe
and included key staff and decision makers of Port Management and Public
Authorities. The aim of the conference was to help these executives understand the need for dredging, the process by which the decision to
dredge is reached and how a dredging project is implemented.
The IADC dredging course has been going for 11 years now and has
previously been held in the Netherlands, Singapore, Argentina and Egypt. |
