Both the technologies and their commercial viability have now been proven, and hence the business offer is now due. New variants of the technology will continue to be developed on an on-going basis.

Established in 2007 and built upon extensive experience, the current owners of the business have available these new dredging systems, a detailed knowledge of dredging contracts available in the UK, and two fully equipped dredging vessels and a third due to start operations in October 2009. The company is based in South East England.
