Precision at Sea How DEME Uses GNSS Technology to Power Offshore Dredging

In the world of commercial offshore dredging, maintaining critical shipping routes demands pinpoint accuracy. For ocean engineering leader DEME, ensuring uninterrupted operations near busy international ports is a daily challenge—especially when radio interference from military activity distorts GNSS signals.

To overcome this, DEME integrates the AsteRx4 GNSS receiver from Septentrio aboard its work vessels. With satellite PPP calibration, the AsteRx4 delivers the high-precision positioning required for complex dredging tasks. This advanced technology ensures reliable navigation, even in environments affected by signal disruption.

As DEME’s Survey Director Lorentz Lievens explains, “Creating land for the future is DEME’s slogan, which is partly attributed to the accuracy and robustness of Septentrio GNSS receivers.” Through this partnership, DEME continues to lead the way in shaping coastlines and enabling global trade with precision.
