CEDA-UK have started putting together the programme for their yearly half day seminar "Another Year of Dredging", followed by the presentation of the Outstanding Contribution Awards 2026 at the ICE office in London, on Thursday 3rd December, starting at 14:00 hours. Annual networking reception with drinks and canapés will follow the presentations at 17:45-20:00.

This seminar (which will also be streamed online) presents a diverse range of works, from major new port developments and land reclamation initiatives to innovative habitat creation and essential maintenance dredging. Through detailed project presentations, attendees will gain valuable, real-world insights into the practical aspects of the dredging sector. Each session will explore the unique challenges faced, the lessons learned along the way, and the strategies that led to successful outcomes.

In addition to reflecting on recent achievements, the seminar will also look ahead, examining how these experiences can inform and inspire future projects.

Whether you are a professional in maritime infrastructure, coastal engineering, or environmental management, this seminar provides an opportunity to deepen your understanding and stay current with the latest developments in dredging practice and innovation.

More details will follow in the coming months, but please feel free to add the date to your calendar.

Please feel free to invite any other colleagues who would like to attend, especially those younger colleagues, who could really benefit from this knowledge-sharing experience.
