Mission, Vision & Ambition


The vision of IHC Systems is, that Efficient Dredging provides added value and benefits to the users of dredging and mining equipment. We offer operators and ships additional 'senses' and 'locomotion', directed to the enhancement of production, performance, sustainability and user friendliness. The concept so contributes to the vision of IHC Merwede, being the market leader, and willing to keep its pole position in the design and delivery of high-grade dredging equipment.

Consequently, IHC Systems' mission is to continuously improve the concept of Efficient Dredging and to implement it on as much dredging equipment as possible in order to provide clients with considerable operational benefits. In practice, this mission influences all our activities, from our approach to clients, over design and engineering, through production and testing, to commissioning and life cycle support. A considerable part ot the annual turnover is dedicated to Research & Development for the realisation of our mission.

The ambition of IHC Systems is, to remain the market leader in the area of efficient dredging and mining. In this ambition great attention is given to the enduring relation and satisfaction of clients and other stakeholders. This means that we continuously strive for the optimisation of price, quality, delivery time, sustainability and maintainability of our products, systems and services.
