We were honored to welcome Mr. Matthias Diependaele, Minister-President of the Flemish Government and Flemish Minister for the Economy, Innovation and Industry, Foreign Policy, Digitisation and Facilities, to our headquarters today.
This visit follows his earlier engagement on March 7 aboard our trailing suction hopper dredger Congo River in Mumbai (India), the largest vessel of its kind in DEME’s fleet. That encounter offered a firsthand look at DEME’s operational excellence on the global stage.
At the DEME headquarters, the Minister-President was welcomed at the Lookout pavilion, DEME’s immersive VIP visitor center, where he was introduced to the company’s pioneering work in offshore energy, dredging, marine infrastructure, and environmental remediation. The visit provided a unique opportunity to showcase how DEME is actively contributing to a sustainable future by delivering innovative solutions to global challenges.
The visit concluded with an interactive session in the Orion simulator, offering a glimpse into the advanced technologies and training capabilities that support DEME’s world-class operations.
