6 HOW DID IADC EDUCATE?

Education is one of the recurring activities of IADC. It is important to educate target groups which are often not aware of the industry’s many facets despite regularly engaging in dredging- related activities. Two dredging courses were held in 2019.

The traditional five-day course offers insight into the basics of dredging through lectures and workshops given by experts from the member companies. The course was held in Delft and was attended by 23 participants. A tailor-made three- day course was held in Mumbai with the support of the Mumbai Port Authority and DG Shipping. This course was attended by 18 participants.

To improve the quality of the course, the Secretariat decided in 2017 to update and reformat the slides used in the course material. In addition to the reformatting, finalised in 2019, the lecturers updated all videos shown during the course. The improved visual presentation contributed to the course’s continued high quality.

IADC and CEDA started to develop a two- day course based on the book Dredging for Sustainable Infrastructure. The first introductory course will be held in The Netherlands in June 2020. In addition to this introductory course, the organisations intend to develop an expert course on modelling and monitoring.

Throughout the year, the ‘Dredging for Sustainable Infrastructure philosophy’ was presented at different international events such as the WODCON XXII in Shanghai, China, IAPH conference in Guangzhou, China, WEDA conference in Chicago, USA, CEDA Dredging Days 2019 in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, World Ocean Council in Paris, France and PIANC Smart River Conference in Lyon, France.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING In 2019, the Annual General Meeting (AGM) was held successfully in New Delhi, India, with a large group of delegates. During the General Meeting, Mr Sundareshan, former Secretary of the Department of Heavy Industry gave a presentation on the social and economic developments in India in the past, present and future.

A group of 31 participants from seven member companies attended the programme. The speed dating-style session to get acquainted with each other was well-received. As is done every year, the programme was updated to reflect the new

9 IADC SOCIAL MEDIA Via Social Media IADC wants to engage and excite internal and external audience. An intensified use of its various social media channels has resulted in an increase of nearly 32,700 unique visitors (2018: 56.900; 2019: 89,500). To realise this increase, the Secretariat worked with a social media calendar. Throughout the year, all of IADC’s activities were scheduled and received attention at the right moments. In addition, the Secretariat shared photos from past projects, works or events on all social media channels for “Throwback Thursday”. The analysis of the number of visitors, downloads and duration of visits on IADC’s website is still being done through bit.ly. This gives a more profound understanding of the relevance of specific information on the website. The use of LinkedIn had a substantial effect on the impact of the social media activities. Over the course of 2019, all social media channels improved IADC’s exposure and the number of followers grew as shown in the graph and table below:

Ms Cao Lei for her paper on ‘Numerical Investigation on the Head and Unsteady Flow Nominations were received from IADC Characteristics of a Dredge Pump Loading High- members (nine in total) as well as from supply Concentration Sands’ and its presentation. chain partners (five in total) of the dredging sector. To encourage supply chain partners to nominate inventions and products for the award the Board decided that in 2020 a, additional, separate award will be granted to supply chain nominations.

The nomination ‘Floating Line Connecting System’ by Boskalis won the 2019 award which was presented at IADC’s Annual General Meeting in New Delhi, India. A video of the winner is available on IADC’s website and YouTube channel. The winning nomination is the result of an innovation team working for a long time on resolving the safety issues with relating to coupling pipelines to automating the formerly manual process. At the CEDA Dredging Days 2019, Rotterdam, The Netherlands on 7-8 November, the award was presented to Liesbeth De Keukelaere from Vito, Belgium for her presentation of the paper ‘Mapping water quality with drones – test case in Texel’.

To emphasise the importance of safety in general and the award specifically, Terra et Aqua published an article introducing all the nominations and another presenting the award winner in more depth.

The turnover in the open markets increased from €4.8 billion in 2017 to €5.1 billion in 2018.
