Efficient Dredging ....

... our contribution to a sustainable future

The welfare of our planet depends on the development, the existence and the maintenance of industrial estate, business parks, ports, rivers and safe estuaries. So all kind of capital, reclamation and maintenance dredging – and all it involves – is indispensable.


We all feel our responsibility to future generations. Our legacy must be a world in which they can prosper: a clean and safe earth with sustainable energy, abundant natural life and economic opportunities.


For now, it means that IHC Systems is increasingly growing into an approach, aiming at long and short term balance between Economy, Environment and Society. Elsewhere this is referred to as a balance between Planet, People and Profit.

Consequently the IHC Systems mission is to optimise dredger performance and operations. To reduce over-dredging, spillage, energy consumption, emissions, turbidity, ecological side-effects and operational costs. And, ultimately, to improve the global present and future.

Our instrumentation & automation, knowledge, expertise and experience are dedicated to this aim. They are our contribution to IHC Merwede and to a sustainable future for all our stakeholders.
