The deployment of anti-jamming technology has enabled the implementation of robust offshore dredging operations
DEME is a world-leading company in dredging, marine infrastructure, offshore energy market solutions, environmental engineering and concessions. It has nearly 150 years of expertise and experience and operates globally, working to solve global challenges such as climate change, population growth, urbanisation, the growth of offshore trade and environmental issues through innovative technologies and approaches.
DEME's motto is ‘Creating Land for the Future’, reflecting the company's expertise in marine dredging and land reclamation.In 2020, DEME achieved a turnover of €2,600.0 million, and despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the company maintained a strong financial performance.Turnover in 2020 amounted to €2,195.8 million, which is down compared to 2019 in 2020 was €2,195.8 million, a decrease compared to 2019, which is partly attributable to the impact of the pandemic on its business.
The DEME Group employs more than 5,200 people worldwide and has more than 100 vessels specialising in dredging and marine engineering. The company also has extensive experience in the financing of offshore and environmental projects.
In terms of technology and innovation, DEME provides its vessels with high-precision positioning capabilities through the integration of Septentrio's AsteRx receivers, which are renowned for their outstanding performance, high level of safety and resilience in challenging environments, and the utilisation of satellite-based PPP corrections.
AsteRx receivers are known for their outstanding performance, high level of safety and resilience in challenging environments. DEME also employs Advanced Interference Suppression (AIM+) technology to ensure highly accurate real-time positioning in the presence of GNSS interference, which is critical for dredging operations.
DEME's dredging operations are vital for maintaining busy shipping lanes and harbours, which are an important part of international trade. However, these operations are sometimes subject to interference from radio transmissions used during military manoeuvres, which can interfere with GNSS signals around commercial shipping lanes, and DEME's technological solutions help to minimise the impact of such interference.
Overall, the DEME Group is a company with a global presence in the field of offshore engineering and dredging, providing its customers with sustainable solutions to global challenges through continuous technological innovation and professional services.
