People have been dredging channels in one way or another since primitive people began to irrigate crops. Our next-level cyber security services leverage decades of expertise across the maritime industry, including smart ships, networks, telecommunications, ship design, and safety and security of ship operations. They are mostly used to dredge loose materials such as sand, clay or gravel. Dredge Types A dredge is a machine that scoops or suctions sediment from the bottom of waterways or is used to mine materials underwater. During operations, the dustpan head is submerged toward the river bottom and water jets stir up the sand gravel on the. As a result, ship owners and managers must understand that cyber security is integral to safety management in shipping and offshore operations.īureau Veritas takes cyber security seriously, identifying it as a key challenge for shipping. The Dredge Potter was originally built in 1932 and is a dustpan dredge.

Sophisticated-and often successful-cyber-attacks are a reality worldwide. At the same time, digitalization also poses new problems for the shipping industry. Intelligent data and r eal-time, connected equipmen t have made a world of difference for dredger operations. There are four phases in the dredging process: excavation, vertical transport, horizontal transport, and placement or use of the dredged material.
