In Kampen, DI, IPEM and de Vries & van de Wiel are part
of the consortium that signed a concession agreement
with the local authorities for the development of the new
Zuiderzeehaven-Kampen. The dredging works for the new
harbour basin were executed in 2006 with de Vries & van
de Wiel equipment.
DI was awarded and executed a beach nourishment
contract on the island of Texel, involving the creation of
an underwater dike. The brand new trailer “Marieke”
performed her very first job here alongside the trailer
“Vlaanderen XXI”.
● France
The important Le Havre port 2000-project was completed
in 2006. The port was officially opened during a ceremony
on the 30 th of March 2006. The excellent performances of
the whole team will remain a beautiful reference for the
coming years.
Maintenance dredging was carried out in Dunkerque and
Gravelines.
The succesful rockdredging campaign executed by the cut-
tersuction dredger D’Artagnan in Boyonne in 2005 led to a
new maintenance dredging contract in the same harbour.
A first campaign was realized in November 2006.
● Germany
In 2006, DEME-subsidiary Nordsee obtained and started
a new maintenance-dredging contract for the River Elbe
covering the period 2006–2007.
In March 2006, DEME took over the dredging activities
of the Dutch company, Koop & Zn. This involved a run-
ning maintenance dredging contract on the jetties in
Wilhelmshaven.
A pilot project was awarded to Nordsee for jet plough dredg-
ing on the River Elbe. The 10-day campaign was executed
successfully with the “Alligator”.
As a subcontractor to the joint venture Hirdes–Blankevoort,
Nordsee started a maintenance dredging campaign on the
Aussenems River at the end of 2006.
● Finland
DI was awarded and subsequently executed a third “Sea
Sand Reclamation Contract” for the extension of Vuosaari
Harbour. The works, executed by the “Nile River” performing
as a stationary suction hopper dredger, were completed in
October 2006.
A capital dredging contract was awarded to DI for the deep-
ening of the inner and outer part of the access channel to
