Description: Dredging is necessary to keep the Belgian seaports accessible. The channels have to deal with mud sedimentation. Given that the navigational depth must be 15 m TAW (reference altitude Belgium), dredging must take place the whole year round in the channels and ports themselves. The Maritime Access Division is responsible for maintaining this guaranteed depth in the shipping lanes. This is an international obligation established in the framework of the IMO. A distinction is made between:  ‘construction dredging’: constructing, deepening and widening ports. This is project-based and can thus vary significantly from year to year.  ‘maintenance dredging’: maintaining the required depth for maritime access routes and the coastal ports. This is done the whole year round, except in fishery harbours and marinas, where the works take place outside the tourist season.
