The aims and objectives of the Federation are:-

a) To actively promote and protect the interests of the Federation, its Members and the UK dredging industry as a whole. This includes dialogue with Clients, Consultants and Authorities alike on issues where communication is required to serve the interests of all stakeholders and the environment;

b) To represent the Members on issues (including projects) of general importance with unions, regulatory bodies, trade organisations and authorities;

c) To actively provide input to institutes dealing with forms of contract, legislation, dispute resolution and standards to ascertain that the specific aspects of our dredging work are recognised and appreciated;

d) To cooperate with other similar organisations, federations or associations to harmonize mutual interest and exchange views on how to improve relations with Clients;

e) To represent the Members at events, conferences, meetings and seminars where dredging interests have to be supported;

f) To actively promote our industry and work to (young) people who are interested in dredging by visiting universities, polytechnics and other venues where employment opportunities are offered; and

g) To investigate and approach potential new members to cover the whole range of dredging contractors in the UK.
