The DPC Innovation Awards programme will consist of 13 award categories looking to recognize and honour the most innovative and forward-thinking projects and individuals in the dredging and port construction sectors. As established innovators in the dredging sectors, Boskalis and DEME will support the DPC event as category sponsors and award presenters during a prize-giving dinner ceremony in London.  

Boskalis, a leading global services provider operating in the dredging, maritime infrastructure and maritime services sectors, are confirmed as event sponsors.

“Research and development is essential to Boskalis,” said Diana van Minnen, Senior Communications Advisor. “We continuously invest in the development of new methods and cutting-edge technology to increase the efficiency, effectiveness and environmental sustainability of activities.

DEME, established as a holding company of two leading Belgian dredging contractors Dredging International and Baggerwerken Decloedt, are confirmed category sponsors for “Innovation in Dredger Design” and “Innovation in Dredging Equipment”.
