COMPANY PROFILE
In addition to our traditional dredging activities we offer a
broad range of maritime services for the offshore energy sector.
Furthermore, we provide towage services as well as emergency
response and salvage-related services.
As a partner we are able to realize complex infrastructural works
for our clients within the chain of design, project management and
execution on time, safely and within budget, even at vulnerable or
remote locations around the world. We strive for sustainable
design and realization of our solutions.
