general introduction
Slowly the world economy is
climbing out of a harsh recession.
Global growth is in low gear and
the drivers of activity are changing.
Emerging markets face slowing
growth and advanced economies
are recovering slightly.
For DEME, 2013 has turned out to be a
year of growth, strengthening its position and
turnover on the national and international markets
thanks to a multidisciplinary and innovative
approach to markets and clients and a strategy
of geographical spread of its activities. The
turnover in 2013 increased by 32% to a record of
EUR 2.53 billion and DEME’s order book stayed
at a high level of EUR 3.05 billion. Next to its
West-European home market, DEME maintained
a high level of activity in Europe, the Middle East,
Australia, Africa, Latin America and the Indian
Subcontinent. Massive ongoing projects – each
of approximately USD 1 billion – in Australia and
in Qatar for port infrastructure and oil and gas
infrastructure confirm DEME’s prominent position
in these markets. Specialized marine and offshore
engineering companies GeoSea, Tideway and
Scaldis saw business expanding owing to a rapidly
growing renewable energy market and further
oil and gas related developments on several
continents. Environmental specialist DEC managed
to maintain its position in a challenging and
competitive environment.

Diversification in
the real sense
Over the next few years, the Group wishes to
consolidate its position in its existing and future
core markets, which include Europe, Singapore,
India, Qatar, Australia and Nigeria, but also
countries like Brazil and Russia. DEME strives to
build partnerships with strong local companies
and specialist civil contractors, so it can offer
a complete package of expertise in the highly
specialised disciplines of marine, fluvial and port
construction. A part of this strategy will be the
further strengthening of the cooperation between
DEME and CFE in the Benelux and in niche-markets
where CFE has added value. DEME further
deploys its state-of-the-art, highly competitive
and versatile fleet in all markets where there are
opportunities.
The Group is committed to developing its
specialist activities, which include services to
the offshore oil & gas production industry and
offshore (renewable) energy sector, underwater
foundations, the extraction of seabed aggregates
(including sand, gravel and minerals) and services
which lead to a cleaner environment (soil, silt
and water treatment). DEME will further develop
new solutions and innovative equipment for
the construction of offshore grids and for the
maintenance, refurbishment or removal of offshore
installations.
DEME is able to offer global solutions, ranging
from financing to engineering and turnkey construction capacity including maintenance. To fulfil
our customers’ requirements, the Group will invest
in green and blue energy, offshore harvesting
of minerals, project finance and concessions,
and competence centres in order to be able to
execute complex EPCM-contracts (Engineering,
Procurement, Construction, Maintenance).
projects worldwide will be financially monitored
on a monthly instead of a quarterly basis.
DEME reaffirms its commitment to adhering
to the strictest safety, quality, environmental and
compliance requirements in all countries where the
Group is active and will continue to spearhead its
no incident policy.

DEME is also streamlining its internal
organisation in order to realise its ambitious
growth plans. Two programmes to optimise the
Group’s cost structure – DRIVE and LESS IS MORE –
have been introduced and are already leading to
positive developments. Additionally, even more
attention is being devoted to project-life risk
management – from award to delivery – and all

Securing access
for economic
growth
2013 has been a very busy year
in the Benelux area, with the full
range of dredging and supporting
activities. DEME’s home market
has always served as the developing
and testing ground for new technologies. We have seen continuous
efforts in the R&D departments.
Europe
& Russia
BELGIUM
In Belgium, maintenance dredging works
continued on the river Scheldt and in the access
channels to the Antwerp locks, in the busy
shipping lanes off the Belgian coast towards the
Ports of Ostend, Zeebrugge and the river Scheldt,
and along the Belgian coast in the inner marinas
of Ostend, Zeebrugge and Blankenberge. All of
these contracts involved the use of several hopper
dredgers, small specialised cutters, sweep beams
and the latest launched backhoe dredger. As part
of their work in the marinas, Dredging International (DI) and Baggerwerken Decloedt executed
some additional works, involving the dredging of
contaminated sediments at the Zeebrugge fishing
port. The treatment of this dredged material was
performed by DEME Environmental Contractors
(DEC). The Ghent-Terneuzen Canal was subject

THE NETHERLANDS
to similar activities, while the treatment of the
polluted dredged material was executed by DEC.
Dredging International (DI) continued its
capital dredging and marine works at the North
Sea Terminal (Antwerp). In the Port of Antwerp, DI
and DEC successfully continued the operation of
‘AMORAS’, the large mechanical dewatering plant
for dredged material under a fifteen-year contract.
In Kruibeke, the construction of dikes around one of
the largest controlled flooding areas in Europe was
completed, while the construction of the Sigma dike
along the river Scheldt at Fort Filip was in execution,
including the construction of another large wetland
area called the ‘Prosper polder’. These works call for
the construction of 5 km of retaining dikes and the
reinstallation of the flooding area.
In 2013 awards were granted for three beach
nourishment works in Middelkerke, Knokke-Heist
and Ostend, with a kick-off in October 2013 in
Ostend. These works will form the first phases of
the ‘Vlaamse Baaien’ project. Another contract
was awarded for two new cutter jobs in Zeebrugge.
Finally, Dredging International completed its
operations for the construction of the C-Power
offshore wind farm on the Thornton Bank.
In the Netherlands, DEME operates through
its Dutch subsidiaries de Vries & van de Wiel and
the Dredging International Netherlands branch.
The Botlek Tank Terminal reclamation project in
Rotterdam is in full execution and expected to be
completed by mid-2014.
Last year several contracts were obtained:
numerous beach nourishment works at 10 locations
along the Dutch coast, a Design and Build contract
for the deepening and widening of the Juliana
Canal and a new contract ‘Waterdunen’. The latter
project includes the reinforcement of the current
coastal protection, the creation of 40 ha of new
dunes and 250 ha of accessible tidal nature
(mudflats and salt marshes) and recreational
nature.

MEDITERRANEAN AREA
Despite a harsh economic climate and political challenges, DEME
succeeded to maintain a steady presence in the Mediterranean area.
In Italy, SIDRA (Società Italiana Dragaggi) was further engaged
in various maritime projects at the ports of Cagliari, Trapani, Molfetta,
Taranto and Livorno.
In 2013 SIDRA completed the dredging of 1,000,000 m³ of rock
with the newly built CSD ‘Ambiorix’ in the Port of Civitavecchia.
Finally, SIDRA was active at Pescara with an emergency dredging
operation, involving impermeabilization of a reclamation area as well
as treatment of polluted soils in a joint effort with DEC.
In the northern part of the continent of Africa, Dredging
International was involved in the filling of caissons in the Port of
Tanger in Morocco. Dredging International also executed maintenance dredging works in the Port of Skikda in Algeria.
NORTHERN EUROPE
Again this year, the centre of gravity of the North European
activities was located in the UK. DEME completed all works at the
London Gateway Project and as such, participated in the transition
of London Gateway from being one of the largest construction sites
in the UK and Europe, to an enormous, state-of-the-art, operational
port. The challenge of completing the required scope of work to allow
the berthing of the first commercial vessel early November 2013 was
accomplished successfully within time and budget.
Maintenance works were completed successfully at the Medway
Access Channel. In Lincshore, Dredging International executed the
fourth campaign of the beach nourishment scheme.
In Germany, NORDSEE participated in the traditional river
maintenance dredging works on the Rhine, on the Elbe and near to
the Wilhelmshaven Oil Refinery, while reinforcing its leading position
on the water injection dredging market.
In mid-2013, NORDSEE was awarded a contract for removal
of 12 wrecks on the River Elbe, between Cuxhaven and Hamburg
commissioned by Wasser- und Schifffahrtsamt Cuxhaven. At the end
of last year NORDSEE obtained a contract for deepening works in the
Port of Bremen. NORDSEE also obtained a maintenance contract on a
stretch of 100 km on the Rhine in Duisburg.
In France, SDI (Société de Dragage International) has demonstrated its expertise in the maintenance dredging works in Bayonne,
Gravelines and on the Gironde River. In a joint venture with DEME
daughter DEC, they obtained a contract for dredging, reclaiming and
treating of contaminated sediments for the Grand Port Maritime de
Dunkirk. A first dredging campaign was realised in October.
SDI was also awarded a contract for dredging the second phase of the
deepening of the Seine which will start in the first half of 2014.
The ‘Constance Bonacieux’ training center in Lambersart was
busy throughout 2013, preparing DEME crews and engineers for their
assignments on projects around the world.
DEME’s efforts in the Baltic States, Finland and Poland, remain
challenging. We delivered works to full satisfaction of clients in
Palanga and Lithuania.
RUSSIA
In 2013 DEME has continued developing the network of
connections in the Area Middle. New and positive acquaintances have
been made, including those based on successfully executed projects
in the south (Sochi and Taman) and north (Ust-Luga) of Russia in the
preceding year.
Saint-Petersburg based Mordraga keeps on looking southwards
of Russia, since Krasnodar region has proven to be one of the
country`s promising and dynamically developing areas, a strategically
important transport hub with the excellent geographical position at
the junction of Europe and Asia. In relation to this fact and based on
the expertise of 2012 in Taman, the Taman New Port construction is
a very interesting project. This project includes the creation of a dry
cargo area in the Port of Taman at the territory of the Temryuk district
and shall become one of the biggest port facilities of the Russian
Federation.
DEME’s Russian branch Mordraga in Saint Petersburg has
developed its expertise by continuing to enhance the experience of
the Russian engineers.

Creating
prosperity
for
everyone
Despite the significant increase
in the number of major new
construction projects in Southeast
Asia, and especially in Singapore,
the prevailing weaker global market
has intensified the competition for
such construction projects in 2013.
Asia
Therefore, during 2013, Dredging International Asia Pacific (DIAP) further developed to
match both the wider market challenges and the
objectives of its partnership strategy.
DIAP has been awarded a Design and Build
contract for land reclamation as an extension to
Jurong Island, for the account of the Singapore
Government’s largest industrial landlord, the
Jurong Town Corporation (JTC). This project
– JIWE, for Jurong Island Westward Extension –
will be executed in three main phases over the
five coming years. It once again underlines DIAP’s
continuing contribution in the creation of new land
for Singapore’s development – a process that has
been ongoing since the 1990s.
Hoh Chi Minh City - Vietnam
Also in Singapore, the Jurong Island Phase 4
and Tuas View B Reclamation Project completed its
defects liability period on 30 November 2013 with
a positive outcome for DIAP. The soil compaction
sub-contract works for the Pasir Panjang Container
Terminal Phases 3 and 4 are progressing well, and
are yielding fruitful results for DIAP.
• Dredging works on the Soai Rap Navigation Channel, Phase 2
In Vietnam, the Dong Thap Canal Dredging
Project, financed by the World Bank, is expected
to achieve completion in early 2014. Hopper
dredger ‘Uilenspiegel’ commenced dredging on the
Soai Rap Navigation Channel (Phase 2) Project in
early April 2013, and completion is slated for June
2014.
Across the Singapore border, in Malaysia,
DIAP looked at the final contract close-out on
the PMU Project at Tanjung Bin; the PMIP Project
at Tanjung Bin has completed its defects liability
period and is now terminated. In the same vein,
the Manjung Sand Supply Project was successfully
executed in April 2013.

2013 has been another very
busy, accomplished year for DEME
in Oceania. Two massive dredging
projects – the Western Basin
LNG development in Gladstone
(Queensland) and the Wheatstone
LNG project in Onslow (Western
Australia) – were operating at full
tilt, with a peak in the number of
vessels and personnel deployed
as from the second quarter of the
year.
Oceania
Dredging International Australia (DIAU) is
at the same time undertaking environmental
dredging operations at Bige, Papua New
Guinea, to remove the OK Tedi mine tailings from
the Fly River system and stockpile the dredged
tailings in a sustainable way. More than
650 people now work for DEME in Oceania;
an unprecedented deployment for the company.
Cutter suction dredger ‘Al Mahaar’ and
its boosters completed the Western Basin LNG
development in Gladstone well ahead of
schedule, thereby allowing all gas proponents to smoothly continue constructing the three LNG facilities on Curtis Island.
Boosting
our business
‘Down Under’
Wheatstone - Australia
DIAU’s activities in Western Australia are
currently centred on Onslow, a small village
located on the Northwestern Coast, between
Exmouth and Karratha. Onslow may well be small,
but the works DIAU is performing there under
commission from Bechtel/Chevron are considered
to be the largest dredging scope ever executed
in Australia. The construction of the greenfield
Wheatstone LNG port and access channel
deploys over fifteen marine units, including
cutter suction dredger ‘Ambiorix’, trailing suction
hopper dredgers ‘Brabo’ and ‘Breydel’ and barges
‘Sloeber’ and ‘Pagadder’, for approximately two
years. The complete deepening of the
17 km access channel, the turning basins and
the berth pockets must be completed by 2015,
removing a total of 27 million m³ of materials
in an environmentally sensitive area, situated
in between coral reefs and in the presence of a
variety of marine fauna such as turtles, dolphins
and whales. The extensive environmental efforts
• Deepening of the 17 km access channel, the turning basins and the berth pockets
and monitoring of the surrounding water quality
that form part of our scope, and which are carried
out in close cooperation with the proponent and
relevant authorities, have so far been a success
due to the adaptive management and controls
implemented on this project. The first critical
project milestones – the provision of access to
the Material Offloading Facilities (MOF) – were
met in late 2013, allowing the client to commence
transport of construction materials and heavy
modules over water as originally scheduled.

Creating
the ‘Manhattan’
of Africa
In 2013, DEME’s long term
policy in Africa enabled us to
further expand our activities
in this ever more competitive,
challenging but rapidly expanding
part of the world. DEME has been
involved in a substantial number
of projects, involving a wide range
of techniques for various clients in
the public, private and oil and gas
sectors.
Africa
Among the highlights is the successful completion of the second phase of the most extensive
land reclamation works ever performed in Africa:
the prestigious development of the EKO Atlantic
City project in Lagos in Nigeria called the
‘Manhattan of Africa’, where 600 ha of land has
been reclaimed thus far. The reclamation works for
two more adjacent industrial developments at the
Sahara and Digisteel sites started successfully.
Under the umbrella of Bonny Channel
Company, a permanent joint venture with the
National Ports Authority of Nigeria, maintenance
dredging, some marine services and wreck removal
took place on the access to the LNG terminal in
Bonny and Onne. Onne has the biggest oil service
port in the world, owned and operated by INTELS.
Dredging International’s cutter suction dredger
‘Rubens’ started working on phase IV-b of INTELS’
ambitious yard expansion program. The contract
for the dredging and reclamation of this new
facility was signed at the end of 2013.
Lagos - Nigeria
Offshore, in 35 m deep water, a 400 tonne
and 35 m broken spud from the unfortunate oil
drilling platform Lewak Leader was removed from
the sea floor and safely disposed onshore. This
involved substantial salvage and wreck removal
operations.
The last phase of the remote maintenance and
reclamation dredging works on the Niger River in
Nigeria was also completed this year.
In Ivory Coast, Dredging International was
once again the preferred contractor for maintenance
in the ports of Abidjan and San Pedro.
In Ada, East Ghana, the beach is heavily
affected by the effects of climate change and
the rising sea level. An innovative design of a
temporary jetty construction resulted in the creation of a series of 7 breakwaters to protect 5 km
most heavily affected coastline. In the framework
of the accompanying environmental protection
programme, more than 15,000 turtles were saved
• Completion of the second phase of the EKO Atlantic City land reclamation works
and released from the dedicated nursery into the
sea. An important extension to this contract was
signed for the protection of another stretch of
10 km coastline further west of the town of Ada.
In Lomé, Togo, Dredging International also
completed the port and access channel deepening
for Bolloré’s new container terminal expansion
programme.
Further maintenance dredging works were
performed in Soyo, ensuring nautical access to the
new Angola LNG terminal in Angola as well as
fulfilling an urgent need for additional mooring
capacity.
In the Democratic Republic of Congo
a third maintenance campaign was conducted
on the lower Congo River to provide the required
nautical access for ship-owners calling the ports of
Boma and Matadi.

‘World’s first’
projects
Abu Dhabi - UAE
In 2013, operations of the
Middle East Dredging Company
(MEDCO), the joint venture
company of DEME, the Qatari
United Development Company
(UDC) and Qatar Holding, the
investment arm of the Government
of Qatar, were driven by two large
challenging projects in Abu Dhabi
and in Qatar.
• Installation of accropodes on SARB 2
Middle East
In Abu Dhabi, the JV DI-MEDCO had, by
the end of 2013, completed the construction of
the two offshore artificial islands for ADMA-OPCO
(Abu Dhabi Marine Operating Company) for the
development of the Satah Al Razboot offshore oil
field. The construction of these two islands 120 km
offshore is a world first. Next to the engineering
and design works related to the construction
of these islands, the project team managed
multi-disciplinary construction activities involving

vibro-floatation and dynamic compaction, pre-fabrication of concrete quay wall blocks and harbour
construction, construction of breakwater and
rock revetment, pre-fabrication and placement of
Abu Dhabi - UAE
Accropodes II®. The execution and logistic support
of the works has been extremely challenging,
bearing in mind the location of the islands, some
120 km offshore the coast of Abu Dhabi and the
harsh weather conditions experienced at such
location. Up to 1,300 people were employed on
the project. The safety statistics of the project
show that, in total, more than 11.5 million
man-hours were performed on the project, with
only few minor incidents.
• Completion of two artificial energy islands 120 km offshore the coast
of two breakwaters and the rock revetment for
the edge protection of the Naval Base. Three
heavy-duty rock cutter suction dredgers and a
fleet in excess of 150 dry earthmoving machines
are deployed on the project. A total workforce
of more than 1,600 people is employed on the
project. Protection of the environment has proven
to be top priority on this site, where sea grass,
corals and mangrove have been relocated to avoid
any negative impact that otherwise would have
been created by these construction works.
Another challenge in 2013 is the dredging
and reclamation of the New Port, south of Doha in
Qatar. The scope of work includes the reclamation of a nearshore artificial island for the new
Naval Base and the dredging of the 20 km long
access channel to the New Port. Works are being
executed for the Government of Qatar, through the
New Port Steering Committee. The project involves
the dredging and dry excavation of more than
40 million m³ of predominantly hard limestone
rock material. Works include the construction

Doha - Qatar
New Port Project
(NPP)
The Doha New Port Project (NPP) is being
built as part of the Qatar 2030 Vision plan.
The new port spreads out across more
than 26.5 km2. Medco is responsible for
the dredging of the twenty kilometer
long access channel towards the new
port basins, as well as the construction of
the new naval base by reclamation of an
nearshore artificial island, including edge
protection by rock revetment and the
excavation of the naval base basin.
The works include land reclamation and soil
improvement, the construction of a 3.5 km
breakwater, and related tasks.
The volumes that have to be moved
correspond to the vastness of the site:
• 45 million m3 of dredging and excavation,
mainly hard limestone rock, which will
deepen the access channel to a minimum
of 15 m;
• 12 million m² of land reclamation and soil
improvement;
• 71 km of fixed or floating pipelines and
slurry pipes;
• 4 million tons of riprap and rock,
delivered locally or from United Arab
Emirates quarries.
For the dredging works, two heavy-duty
rock Cutter Suction Dredgers have been
mobilized, while, for the 17 million m3 of
dry earthmoving, a fleet of almost 300
excavators, bulldozers, wheelloaders, dump
trucks and trailers is deployed. The project is
designed to mitigate as much as possible the
impact to the environment, and includes the
re-location of seagrass, corals and mangroves
that, otherwise, would have been damaged
by the port construction works.

Offshore renewables
On 17 September 2013, Belgian Prime
Minister Elio di Rupo officially inaugurated the
325 MW C-Power offshore wind farm, situated
30 km offshore the Belgian Coast. In the first half
of 2013, GEOSEA’s jack-up vessel ‘Goliath’ finished
installing the final 18 wind turbines ahead of
schedule.
GEOSEA
Both in terms of turnover as well as employment, GEOSEA experienced a very significant
growth. Benefiting from continuing growth in
offshore wind energy and energy related offshore
infrastructure, GEOSEA has acquired a prominent
position on global markets by constantly
innovating and often offering turnkey solutions to
its clients.
On the Northwind wind farm, GEOSEA acts as
EPCI contractor and was in charge of the design,
procurement and installation of 73 monopiles
and transition pieces including the infield cables.
Installation of the 73 monopiles and transition
pieces including grouting was completed using the
jack-up vessel ‘Neptune’ and GEOSEA is currently
providing the vessel for the actual wind turbine
installation works.
GEOSEA completed foundation works at the
Baltic 2 offshore wind farm situated approximately
32 km north of the German island of Rügen on
behalf of EnBW Erneuerbare Energien GmbH.
Furthermore GEOSEA secured several new
contracts in European offshore wind energy
development.
A new contract in the United Kingdom
(UK) was signed for the Westermost Rough Project,
on commission from the Danish company DONG
Energy, the world’s largest operator of offshore
wind farms. GEOSEA will drive 35 large foundation
piles at a farm where the new Siemens 6 MW
turbine will be installed. Another contract for DONG
Energy was secured on Borkum Riffgrund 1 in
Germany, where GEOSEA will install 77 foundations
with scour protection.
At the end of 2013, GEOSEA signed a
new EPCI contract for the design, supply and
installation of 15 wind turbine foundations and
another contract for the installation of these
turbines for the Kentish Flats Extension Offshore
Wind Farm from Vattenfall, one of the largest
operators of offshore wind farms. Moreover,
DONG Energy awarded a Foundations Transport
and Installation contract for the Gode Wind

offshore wind farms. The Gode Wind offshore
wind farms are located in the German Bight 45 km
from the shore. The contract includes installing the
monopile foundations, as well as transporting the
foundations from the manufacturer to the base
port Eemshaven.
In February 2013, GEOSEA used the jack-up
vessel ‘Neptune’ to complete the pre-piling
operations for the Alstom Haliade 150 (6 MW) by
driving 4 piles in a square cluster of 20 m by
20 m with very narrow tolerances. GEOSEA further
performed engineering services for Alstom Wind
during preparation and execution of the steel
jacket and wind turbine installation.
Mid 2013, GEOSEA signed a contract
to install a 100 m meteorological mast on a
monopile in the Irish Sea, off Barrow-in-Furness.
This met mast will measure offshore wind,
precipitation and radiation.
• Drilling, piling and installation operations for the construction of jetties
Marine construction works
As for the construction of jetties, GEOSEA
continued its drilling, piling and installation
operations at Hay Point in Western Australia.
A total of five jack-up platforms, including
‘Zeebouwer’ and ‘Buzzard’, have been assigned
for this complex and challenging project, involving
the construction of a two km access jetty and a
berthing jetty for coking coal supply. The general
contractor is BECHTEL forming the Marine Team
with MACCONNELL-DOWELL and GEOSEA.
The project is being executed on behalf of the
BHP-Mitsubishi Alliance (BMA). The project has
meanwhile progressed nicely and has started to
assume its ultimate spectacular shape.
Site Investigation
In mid-2013 GEOSEA performed a geotechnical and geophysical site investigation campaign at
the Round 2 Project Le Tréport (France) for EDF
Energies Nouvelles. The geophysical works were
performed from a DP1 survey vessel.
The geotechnical works were performed from
a high performance geotechnical DPII drill ship,
facing challenging environmental and geotechnical
conditions. At the same time, GEOSEA provided a
vessel for the various soil investigation works for
ELIA in Belgium.
Oil & Gas
In 2013 GEOSEA was awarded the FEED study
for a minimum facility gas production platform
for the Dutch Oil & Gas operator Oranje Nassau
Energy (ONE). The FEED study includes the design
of an unmanned gas production platform powered
by wind and solar energy as well as engineering
the platform dismantling. This minimum facility gas
production platform is scheduled to be installed
at the end of 2014 or early 2015. The well lifetime
of such smaller fields varies from a couple of years
to 7 years and the client ONE insisted on a smart
solution for re-use of the platform.

HIGH WIND
High Wind is a joint company of GEOSEA,
Sarens, G&G International, SBE and PMV
(Participatie Maatschappij Vlaanderen) to develop
a tool for installing offshore wind turbines under
high wind conditions. This innovative project is a
part of the Flemish program ‘V.I.A.’ (Vlaanderen in
Actie/Flanders in Action) for the development of
factories for the future.
The ambition is for installation vessels to
become weather-independent ‘floating factories’.
The tool should result in an improved up-time
of the vessels and considerable savings in terms
of time, costs, and reliability for installation of
offshore structures as a whole. The basic design
of this tool was completed in 2013. Currently,
detailed engineering is ongoing and will be ready
to be installed for the first time at the end of 2014
on one of GEOSEA’s jack-up vessels.

offshore mineral resources.
COENTUNNEL
AMSTERDAM
Coentunnel Company, a subsidiary of
Dredging International, CFE and their partners,
officially inaugurated the second Coentunnel in
the Netherlands on 16 May 2013, in the presence
of Melanie Schultz van Haegen, Dutch Minister of
Infrastructure and the Environment. The works,
which took 5 years, were carried out by Coentunnel
Construction V.O.F., a grouping composed of CFE,
Dredging International and VINCI Construction

Port of Amsterdam, and the dozen kilometers of
adjacent motorways is to double the capacity of
the existing tunnel and to make traffic smoother
on what is today a saturated west ring road of
Amsterdam leading to the north of the country.
Coentunnel Company, in which DEME has a stake
of 5%, will be in charge of the maintenance of
the entire system for 24 years, in accordance
with the public private partnership signed with
‘Rijkswaterstaat’ the Dutch Department of Public
Works, in June 2008.
The city of Kampen, the Netherlands, initiated
the construction of ‘Zuiderzeehaven’ as a second
industrial harbour. Regionally the Zuiderzee
harbour was rather crucial for the development
of new industrial infrastructure for businesses,
requiring direct access to deeper waterways.
This harbour is unique due to the fact that it
is able to accommodate inland barges, twin
push-towing barges and coastal navigation vessels
of up to 4000 ton and more.
The development of Zuiderzee harbour was
realised in a Public Private Partnership (PPP).
The partnership defined the creation of a new
harbour with a total surface of 63 ha, of which is
42.3 ha wet surface and 5 ha industrial area. The
scope included the technical realisation, meaning
the rerouting of dikes, the construction of the
harbour, the construction of the site and necessary
infrastructure as well as the access roads, the
sale of developed areas and the management and
maintenance during 15 years (until 2016).

On 17 September 2013 the Belgian Prime
Minister Elio di Rupo inaugurated the C-Power
offshore wind farm situated on the Thornton
Bank. The 325 MW wind farm is the largest off
the Belgian coast and will provide green energy
to 300,000 households. In 2013, the +/-12%
participation of DEME in C-POWER was placed
under DEME Concessions N.V.
In Poland, Power@Sea has applied for a
permit for the development, construction and
installation of two offshore wind farms – C-Wind
and B-Wind – in the Polish Baltic Sea and obtained
the right to develop these offshore wind parks.
The two wind parks are situated offshore the
Gdansk area and have a minimum installed
capacity of 400 MW.
Together with the other shareholders of
OTARY, Power@Sea has three concessions for
offshore wind farms on three Belgian projects:
Rentel, SeaStar and Mermaid. All these wind
projects represent an accumulated capacity of over
900 MW.

DEME Blue Energy focuses on
the development of energy generated from waves, tidal movements
and tidal currents. DBE plays a
pioneering role in the development
of wave energy convertors and
tidal energy convertors. DBE
closely cooperates with academic
centres of knowledge.
DEME BLUE ENERGY
FlanSea
Since 2010, DBE (DEME Blue Energy) has been
involved in the Flemish research project FlanSea
(Flanders Electricity from the Sea) together with
the University of Ghent and 5 industrial partners.
In 2013, the final stage of the project started by
creating a real life lab in order to validate the theoretical control algorithms. After the construction
and assembly of the wave energy device early this
year, the ‘Wave Pioneer’ was officially launched on
the 23rd of April at Zeewezendok, Ostend.
The ‘Wave Pioneer’ was installed and tested
in sea, subject to a moderate wave climate.
The second half of 2013 was used to measure and
optimize the device. Further data analysis in 2014
will indicate the potential of the control system
and the power production.
In the long term it intends to position wave
energy converters in the existing offshore wind
farms. This would allow for optimum use of
the scarce area at sea, enhance the electricity
production of the farms and optimize the use of
the infrastructure already in place for transmission
of electricity to the High Voltage grid. This would
result in useful synergies between both sources of
renewable energy from wind and water.
Recently, DBE was awarded the VINCI
Together Prize (region Northern Europe) for the
FlanSea project. This acknowledgement rewards
their successful cooperation of DBE with other
partners in ‘blue technology’.

DEME ON THE MOVE
A healthy body contributes to overall well-being. Yearly, DEME
launches various campaigns to stimulate physical exercise and
optimalize the team spirit with its ‘DEME On the Move’ campaign.
DEME’s goal is to motivate many colleagues and give them ample
opportunities to practice sports.
Last year, ‘DEME on the Move’ shifted its focus towards a new
challenge: the 100 km ‘Death March’ in Bornem, Belgium, as a grand
finale of an extensive walking campaign.
You ‘ll never walk alone
On 9 August 2013, 66 DEME employees went for a ‘hike’ into
the unknown: the Death March in and around the village of Bornem.
Fourteen of them reached the finish line on 10 August after 100
challenging kilometres. Together they experienced the apotheosis of
the ‘DEME On the Move’ campaign and collected funds for the fight
against cancer: each single participant was being sponsored by colleagues and friends collecting a healthy amount of money for cancer
research by the Flemish League against Cancer. The DEME4LIFE
Foundation doubled the amount collected by all participants.
Records at the Antwerp Ten Miles
Last year at the ‘Antwerp Ten Miles’, DEME was again at the start
of the ‘Antwerp Ten Miles’, recording over a hundred participants with
runners in all categories.
To unseen heights in 2014!
After the walk and hike year of 2013, the hunger for a new biking
experience is very much alive within the DEME group. On 9 November
2013 our tenth ‘On the Move’ campaign was kicked off by none other
than current cyclo-cross world champion Sven Nys.
Mid June, DEME will again go for a new and challenging conquest
in the mountains: the climbing of the Passo dello Stelvio in Italy,
on the border of the Italian-speaking province of Sondrio and the
German-speaking South Tirol. The Stelvio is one of the highest paved
mountain passes in the Alps, its top reaching 2,758 m. Facing this
challenging expedition, DEME is supporting the fight against diabetes.

PEOPLE:
THE ULTIMATE ASSET
DEME works in a dynamic, competitive environment all over the
globe, and to make sure our customers get the best quality services,
we need special employees who are willing to go the extra mile.
Each and every one of our 4,300 employees contributes to achieving
success.
Working for DEME often means being involved in pioneering,
innovative projects and we understand that our people – their
expertise, creative thinking and sheer hard work – are the foundation
for the success of our business.
Innovation is vital in this business if we are to stay one step
ahead. And because of this DEME makes every effort to secure special
talents that will make the difference. DEME’s job is to recruit the right
people in the first place and once we have them aboard, we also go
out of our way to retain them. Naturally, education and qualifications
are important, but we seek people with an entrepreneurial, creative
spirit - people who are keen to take on responsibility and those that
can be team players.
Our people are passionate about what they do. DEME makes
every effort to create an environment in which they can flourish and
are stimulated to further strengthen their competencies, share their
knowledge and develop their skills to make them strong team players
ready to be deployed around the world.
The market is continually developing and DEME has to be able
to mobilise its experts at a moment’s notice. We have to get the
right people, at the right place, at the right time. We can create a
team of experts suited to an individual project, giving our customers
peace of mind that they have the right people to get the job done, no
matter how challenging. Our employees build partnerships with our
customers based on mutual trust and respect.

TRAINING:
MEETING THE HIGHEST
STANDARDS
DEME encourages self-development and we are continually
looking to strengthen our core competencies, therefore we consider it
essential to support our employees by providing top quality education
and training opportunities so they can grow within the company.
DEME strives to create a company-wide learning community,
where expertise is shared and people feel encouraged to innovate.
We work tirelessly to properly train all of our employees so that they
can achieve and maintain the high standards we expect and we make
sure that everyone can take refresher courses when they need them.
We provide a broad range of training courses, for all employees,
whether they are newcomers or experienced project managers.
For the employees who work on our dredgers most of the training
courses focus on safety and are usually based on international
maritime regulations.
Our training programmes are constantly updated. In 2013
we developed new training modules for offshore projects (OPITO
certified). We strongly believe in simulator training because it is the
fastest route to ‘hands-on learning’ and we have invested a lot in
this over the last 10 years. The cutter simulator at SDI in France and
our participation in VDAB’s marine and engine room simulators have
already provided some excellent training opportunities for our crews
as well as for other employees, enabling them to acquaint themselves
with the reality on board. And we have other plans too; in time we
want to invest in our own hopper simulator.
We continued to develop our existing training programme and
we want to make more modules available electronically, which is a
perfect way of letting people study at their own pace. We will soon
make several safety modules available as e-learning courses. DEME
also offers a specialised training programme to enhance the expertise
and develop the potential of future Project Managers and Project
Accountants to prepare them for a career on site.
And safety – as always – remains a top priority. This is reflected
in a wide range of standard safety training courses for both staff
and crew members, promoting safety awareness and respect for
the environment. Additionally, for specific projects such as those in
Australia, we have developed a series of special site-oriented safety
training courses in close cooperation with our client, local authorities
and training agencies.
85
At DEME we believe that all our
people are entitled to the same
level of protection regardless of
where they work in the world.
Safety is one of our core values and
we believe that by working together,
we will create an incident-free
workplace every day, everywhere.
We can make this a reality if we have the
right attitude to health, safety, environmental
and security management: by following Group
instructions and procedures; by upholding our
own high standards and never cutting corners;
by helping others who may be new to a particular
worksite and by challenging those who disregard
our rules. We all have a part to play. Our project
management teams will help our people succeed
by setting safety priorities as part of the project
work execution. Day-to-day management of HSE
is a line management responsibility, which is
supported by our HSE professionals.
We believe that safety, quality and good management are inextricably linked. A safe worksite is
a well-run worksite. A well-run worksite, onshore
or offshore, is a safe place to work.
LEARNING FROM
INCIDENTS
Where incidents do occur, enhanced
reporting, investigation and learning practices are
used to improve our ability to learn from them.
We issue ‘QHSE-S Flash Reports’ to communicate
relevant information about issues that have arisen
inside or outside the group, which could highlight
potentially unsafe working conditions or practices.
These reports include specific requirements or
recommendations for our operations to implement
where applicable, which may help prevent a similar
incident reoccurring.

The number of unsafe acts, unsafe situations
and near misses reported significantly increased
over the past four years (see graph 1). It indicates
that there is a clear relation between the increase
of reporting unsafe conditions, unsafe acts
and near misses and the decrease of (serious)
incidents, e.g. Lost Time Incidents. As a result, the
Lost Time Incident Frequency Rate in 2013 (see

OPERATIONAL RISK
MANAGEMENT
During 2013 DEME rolled out a new operational risk management
platform for its entire organisation. The highly specialised and
centrally managed software tool called ‘IMPACT’ introduces a new
way of thinking and managing incidents, near-misses, observations,
improvement proposals, audits and inspections, as well as QHSE-S
related topics such as emergency drills, toolbox meetings, QHSE-S
training, etc. In addition, the system handles all related action
management as well as reporting and statistical analysis at any given
time and at different levels of the organisation, including projects and
vessels.
The system has been tailored to meet DEME’s mission and vision
regarding QHSE-S, which is reflected in the special attention given
to ecological risks, possible impact on local communities, innovative
actions, etc. The launch of IMPACT has brought uniformity, increased
transparency and enhanced the quality of the collected data.
Increased transparency will shed new light on operational risks
and consequently, help DEME in its ongoing efforts to reduce them and
close the risk reduction cycle (reporting, investigation, action).
DEME SAFETY
MOMENT DAY
For the third consecutive year, a DEME ‘Safety Moment Day’ was
organized, last year on 27 November 2013. This time the focus was on
Manual Handling and participation was overwhelming.
All of the Business Units and Regions got involved – from Australia
to South America and everything in between. Top management and all
of our employees were proactive in bringing the message across about
the hazards related to manual lifting, moving, shifting, pushing, pulling,
etc. in order to raise awareness and reduce the number of incidents,
particularly back-related ones. On the Safety Moment Day, all of these
tools were used in a toolbox meeting at all sites, vessels and offices and
this was followed by an inspection tour.

Netherlands that is used by the Dutch government
to achieve sustainable procurement.
Since 2012, DEME has been certified for CO2
performance ladder level 3 by Lloyd’s Register
Quality Assurance.
In 2013 DEME began efforts to obtain level 5
certification, which is the highest level attainable.
To achieve level 5 in the upcoming years, both
DEME and its largest suppliers have to demonstrate
all of their CO2 generating activities.
CARBON FOOTPRINT
The total emissions produced by the Group
in 2012 amounted to 578,210 tonnes of carbon
dioxide. The carbon footprint of Belgium and the
Netherlands (the CO2 performance ladder boundary)
totaled 112,286 tonnes of carbon dioxide.

The Fuel Efficiency Workgroup aims to reduce
the fuel consumption of DEME’s worldwide
fleet through effective measurement systems,
improvements in technical performance, operational efficiency, increased awareness, innovative
technologies and work methods. DEME is aiming
to increase its energy efficiency by 7% by 2022 as
compared to 2011.
The Fuel Efficiency initiative is conducted in line
with DEME’s continuous improvement programme
DRIVE, which aims to improve safety, sustainability,
quality and productivity. Consequently within
the scope of DRIVE, improvement exercises are
launched in order to reduce fuel consumption.
Apart from looking to make fuel efficiencies on
DEME’s fleet and projects, the DEME head office in
Zwijndrecht is designed using sustainable building
concepts, equipped with energy-saving measures
and fully powered by renewable energy sources.
GREENLAND ICE 2014
The polar areas are of crucial importance to
the ecology of our entire Earth. Throughout their
daring expeditions, Dixie Dansercoer and his team
have traversed the ice caps to extents that are
scarcely imaginable, while collecting scientific
data that would otherwise remain unexplored.
Their Greenland ICE 2014 expedition is a perfect
match for DEME’s environmental and sustainability
goals. DEME shares Dixie’s ambition to reduce
mankind’s environmental footprint, and promotes
sustainability through its pioneering, trendsetting
activities: from the protection of our vulnerable
coastal areas against the negative effects of
climate change to the promotion of renewable
energy generation through the development and
construction of offshore wind, tidal and wave farms.
As a worldwide entrepreneur, DEME also shares
Dixie’s adventurous spirit and willingness to take
calculated risks and innovative approaches to get
the job done – however challenging that may prove.
DEME trusts its full support of this expedition
will inspire our personnel to reflect on – and
live – the effects of teamwork, partnership
between generations, open communication and the
achievement of major goals.

So many DEME employees have been inspired
to help communities in which we work which
has led to the creation of a special foundation to
consolidate the many charitable actions around
the globe – the DEME4Life Foundation. Thanks to
their tireless efforts many social projects have been
supported all over the world, from Nigeria, Mexico,
Brazil, India, Vietnam, Ghana to the Democratic
Republic of Congo.
The DEME4Life Foundation aspires to reach
out to the weakest and less privileged people and
communities and it reflects the DEME’s commitment
to act in a sustainable and ethical way on a social,
economic and environmental level.
Projects supported in 2013 reflect the truly
global reach of the DEME4Life Foundation, where
it has been active in the Vietnam, Ghana, Belgium,
Bangladesh and the Philippines.
corporate social responsibility
In Vietnam, the Foundation supported the
Tien Giang Social protection Center for orphans,
disabled and elderly people and those that are
mentally ill, which was founded in 1978. The Center
distributes food for hundreds of people and it
provides education and schools for orphans. The
Foundation also assisted the Thi Nghe Protection
Center for disabled orphans in Vietnam. The organisation was established in 1975 and takes care of
the nurturing, healing, rehabilitation and education
of orphans with cerebral palsy, polio, developmental
delay and mental retardation, as well as helping
to reintegrate and restore motor functions for
handicapped children in local communities.
In Ghana DEME4Life’s project focused on an
action plan for a healthy drinking water supply and
improving hygiene in Ghana. In Bangladesh,
DEME4Life focused on assisting in the development
of the Chars region, which is affected by numerous
floods.
Meanwhile at home in Belgium, the
Foundation is involved in the Playing for Success
(PFS) project, which aims to help children with
learning disabilities between the ages of 10 and 14
to improve their performance at school. Activities
are organised in an inspiring and challenging
environment and the children are surrounded by
their sports icons in order to boost their self-image,
confidence and motivation to learn.
The DEME4Life Foundation is also involved
in the ‘New Belgica’ project, where unemployed
people are building a replica of the famous
three-mast Antarctic exploration vessel, which
made the first Antarctic expedition ever between
1897 and 1899. Some 500 unemployed people are
given education and training that gives them the
opportunity to reintegrate into the community.
The DEME4Life Foundation always identifies
one key project every year. At the end of 2013,
the foundation decided to support ‘Tumaini’ in
2014. Tumaini, which means ‘hope’ in Swahili, is a
non-profit organisation that helps many Congolese
orphans and children from the poorest families
in the Democratic Republic of Congo by
contributing to their education and medical care.
Tumaini focuses on family life in order to ensure
their social and intellectual development and
wellbeing. The organisation helps the children in
their education, enabling them to continue their
studies and it also finds stable Congolese families
and encourages adoption in the DRC and abroad.
When the devastating typhoon Haiyan hit

Life for
pioneers
The innovation process follows a methodical,
systematic and structured path according to formal
procedures, workshops and by using dedicated
tools. Only when the talent, know-how, creativity,
experience and feedback from a broad variety of
stakeholders is brought together, new developments can evolve, turning innovation into reality.
In the course of 2013 this multidisciplinary
philosophy and cooperative approach resulted in
some remarkable achievements.
SQUAT PREDICTION
When working on projects with restricted keel
clearances, squat can be an important issue. The
movement of a ship through water causes a change
in the hydrodynamic pressure field around the ship,
which leads to two effects – a local decrease of the
water level around the ship and a change of the
trim – called squat.
Decreasing the water around the ship or
increasing the speed of movement will enhance
this effect. The need for a visualisation of Under
Keel Clearances and squat prediction was made
clear during two projects ‘Soai Rap – Vietnam’ and
‘Lincshore – UK’. Before a visualisation tool could be
developed, a study on the accuracy of the necessary
sensors and ship specific properties needed to be
done. A list of all the required data also had to be
data-logged with a special methodology.
The study concluded that the measuring
method was accurate and squat can be visualised
in real time. However, several areas need further
work including more analysis of measured data and
an investigation of the influence of propeller wash/
pitch and the development of a predictive model.
PROACTIVE ADAPTIVE
MANAGEMENT OF
SEDIMENT
REDISTRIBUTION
IN THE JULIANA CANAL
Floods in 1993 and 1995 along the River
Maas, in the province of Limburg, the Netherlands,
demonstrated that people living in the area were
vulnerable. Due to these safety concerns, increasing
ship dimensions and a call for a more natural
environment, the Rijkswaterstaat, which is part of
the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Environment, decided to start the project ‘Maaswerken’.
This project consists of three parts: Maasroute,
Zandmaas and Grensmaas.
The Maasroute is a navigational channel to
the Netherlands partly over the River Maas and
partly over the Juliana Canal and Lateraal Canal.
The Juliana Canal is situated between Limmel (near
Maastricht) and Maasbracht. A large chemical
complex, Chemelot, is sited alongside, which drains
water from the canal for cooling purposes, fire
safety and for producing distilled water.
95
safe and sustainable solutions innovation
Although a flocculation plant is located there removing polluting
particles, it has limited capacity so the Chemelot site is highly
dependent on the turbidity of the Juliana Canal. Dredging activities for
the project ‘Widening Juliana Canal’ have brought an additional source
of turbidity.
In order to obtain dependable data, eight fixed and several
mobile monitoring stations are positioned along the Juliana Canal.
The stations send their data in real time through a wireless connection
to a data management and visualisation system. Input from the
monitoring system and the specific sources of turbidity facilitated
the creation of a model that is able to forecast the expected turbidity
at the entrance of the flocculation plant. Specifically built for this
purpose using MATLAB®, the model receives data about all of the
possible sources of turbidity.
A management plan outlines measures that have to be taken
before, during and after the dredging activities. Precautionary measures
include a speed reduction for ships, dredging mud by the flocculation
plant and the deepening of the gravel washing harbour. Corrective
measures implemented when turbidity levels reach, or are forecasted to
exceed critical values, involve relocating the dredging activities using
a closed environmental bucket and the use of silt or bubble screens at
specific locations.
SWELL WORKABILITY PROJECT
Partly due to the continuous search for oil & gas the last decade
has seen an increase in dredging works taking place in swell exposed
locations. These waves can lead to the reduced workability of Cutter
Suction Dredgers (CSDs), as well as increasing maintenance and
operational costs. The workability of CSDs is an interesting study
field. DEME took the decision to investigate this phenomenon for a
large dredging project in North West Australia, where a long ocean
swell occurs.
Several model calculations were made to determine the spud forces
(Ambiorix, Al Jarraf) and these calculations resulted in a workability
tool, which can be used to predict workability more accurately during
the tender phase. During the execution phase of the dredging works,
a better prediction of the workability can be done using local wave
measurements and predictions, allowing proper work planning,
enhancing the heading and cutting width and allowing for optimal stop
/restart operations during severe swell conditions. The project resulted
in increasing the workability of CSDs in swell conditions, reduced
maintenance and operational costs, as well as increased safety on board.
ECOPLUME
One of DEME’s core values is to protect the environment and avoid
adverse impact to the communities in which we do business. EcoPLUME
is a system that helps to fulfill this core value when we are carrying out
dredging projects.
Dredging in environmentally sensitive areas is often restricted
by means of water quality criteria, which must be adhered to during
the project to avoid adverse impacts to the environmental system.
The water quality criteria are verified by an extensive monitoring
programme.
EcoPLUME, which is built on the basis of a hydrodynamic
mathematical model, predicts whether the water quality criteria will be
fulfilled or not. EcoPLUME uses the model to make short term (i.e. days)
forecast simulations of the hydrodynamics in the project area.
On the basis of the specified work planning, EcoPLUME estimates
so-called spill terms, which is the release rate of sediments into the
water caused by dredging activities. The model simulates the spreading
of the sediments by currents and waves. This results in predicted water
quality levels at sensitive areas, which can be evaluated against the
given criteria. When the system predicts that the criteria cannot be
fulfilled, alternative work schedules can be considered and analysed.

safe and sustainable solutions innovation
One of the keys to a successful
business proposal is in the hands of
DEME’s Export & Project Finance
Department. By managing the
credit risk associated with specific transactions or by arranging
financial packages – both in developed and emerging markets – the
department supports the all-in
solutions approach that DEME
wants to offer to clients all around
the world.
Export &
project
finance
The department assembles tailor-made
financial packages and negotiates these packages
with potential investors, financial institutions and
authorities worldwide. Each project finance package
is specifically tailored to the needs and possibilities
of each and every project and client. As such, it can
take different forms going from a simple buyer’s
credit or a soft loan to a project finance structure
or combination of different forms. These structures
often offer financing possibilities to a client, who
does not have the capability to arrange a similar
financing locally especially with regard to credit
tenor or credit amount.
project finance
From desk
to project
Every package or structure, whatever the
nature or complexity, is fully compliant with OECD
regulations on all levels. Moreover, the economic,
environmental and social sustainability of the
project is always a crucial factor. Privileged partners
in setting up these structures are Delcredere, the
Belgian Export Credit Agency and Finexpo, the
Inter Ministerial Committee for Financial Support of
Belgian Export.
DEME’s Export & Project Finance Department
operates worldwide. One of last year’s achievements includes a project finance solution for land
reclamation works in Nigeria (Eko Atlantic City-2D)
and for channel dredging in Vietnam (Soi Rap).

Continuous
improvement
is our aim
DRIVE is DEME’s own
continuous improvement and
operational excellence programme.
Although DRIVE is based on the
Lean Six Sigma methodology, it
takes the specific nature of DEME’s
business into account. Each year
the management team sets a clear
financial and strategic target for the
DRIVE programme. A major aim
of DRIVE is to reinforce DEME’s
culture of ongoing improvement
and accountability.
Drive
DRIVE consists of three pillars:
• DRIVE Operational and Technical
Innovation provides a pragmatic approach to
operational process improvement that can easily
be implemented in projects worldwide. Due to the
asset intensive nature of DEME’s industry, this pillar
is heavily focused on increasing asset productivity
and on the cost of consumables.
• DRIVE Cost is focused on sourcing
improvements, by identifying DEME’s critical spend
categories and using levers like supplier consolidation, supply and demand management, process
improvement and performance management to
reduce spend.
• DRIVE Transactional aims to realise
administrative process improvement. This pillar has
a strong focus on the administrative processes that
have a strong financial impact (e.g. supply chain,
subsidy, tax and insurance)
quality, productivity
and cost-efficiency
In 2013 DRIVE realised its ambitious financial
target and extended its scope towards new
work areas such as the Technical and Purchase &
Logistics Department. DRIVE was launched on more
than 98% of all DEME projects. The approach is
pragmatic and effective. For 2014, the focus is on
integrating these new work areas into the DRIVE
approach, thus providing new levers to improve
DEME’s result.
DRIVE OPERATIONAL
AND TECHNICAL
INNOVATION
Since fuel consumption is an important cost
driver for DEME’s projects, it is logical that DRIVE
also addresses this and seven DRIVE initiatives
were launched in 2013 to reduce fuel consumption.
This approach also contributes to the realisation of
DEME’s CO2 reduction targets.
Apart from directly contributing to the
short-term project result, DRIVE has resulted in the
development of a ‘bottom up innovation track’.
In 2013, 70 ideas for technical innovations were
identified and 25 projects were approved, six of
which have already been realised.
DRIVE COST
The largest contributor of DRIVE Cost is still
found in cost savings on spend under the control of
the central purchase department, largely through
tighter vendor management and frame agreements.
In addition, savings are obtained via other
departments such as ICT, QHSES, insurance, legal,
tax and finance.
DRIVE
TRANSACTIONAL
DEME’s Charter Desk was one of the key
contributors to the savings secured under the DRIVE
Transactional projects. Established to better control
the hire of small floating auxiliary equipment, the
Charter Desk is now involved in the hire of larger
offshore equipment and small dredging equipment
and it will be involved in the rental of rolling earth
moving equipment and other rental equipment.
The Charter Desk provides commercial, legal
and insurance advice to projects needing to hire
equipment in.
Given the importance of the fuel cost in DEME’s
total spend, increased effort and resources have
been allocated to fuel procurement. This has yielded
important savings, which will be further increased
in 2014 by targeting DEME’s central marine fuel
spend. Integrating procurement for business units
such as DEC and Geosea is also yielding savings
through economies of scale.
101
safe and sustainable solutions quality, productivity and cost-efficiency
Less is more
In order to tackle strategic issues beyond the scope of DRIVE, the
Less is More programme was launched in 2013. Fuel consumption, risk
management, sourcing excellence, technical leadership and cash flow
optimisation are all being addressed under this programme. No less
than 10 working groups have successfully executed projects within
this scope. The programme is managed by Luc Vandenbulcke, Deputy
Operating Officer and Managing Director of GeoSea.
U-Drive
In 2014 DRIVE will be further enhanced by the start of the U-DRIVE
project, which will focus on increasing the effectiveness and efficiency
of the Technical and Purchase & Logistics Departments in the field of
Sourcing, Spend & Vendor management; Supply Chain Improvements
(logistics & warehousing) and Asset Management (vessel maintenance
and dry dockings).
The Fuel Efficiency working group aims to reduce the fuel
consumption of DEME’s worldwide fleet through effective measurement
systems, improvements in technical performance, operational efficiency,
increased awareness, innovative technologies and work methods.
As well as this, the DEME head office in Zwijndrecht is designed using
sustainable building concepts, equipped with energy-saving measures
and fully powered by renewable energy sources.
Risk management and quality assurance were improved by a
thorough revision of the tender, project operations/accounting procedures. The working groups produced three comprehensive manuals in
2013 - Acquisition and Tender Management, Project Management and
the Project Accounting Manual.
Regarding technical leadership two working groups have been
active. One has focused on high altitude dredging, the other on the
reconversion of equipment to align with current market demands.
Finally, Cash is King but Liquidity is Queen and the strategic target
of cash flow optimisation was pursued with renewed vigour within the
scope of Less is More. Two workgroups have been established in line
with this, one focusing on the sale of unused assets and one addressing
a number of topics such as more efficient procedures to follow up
receivables and interests, cash flow forecasts and currency hedging in
repair and maintenance.
