About METHA:
METHA is a flagship in the dredging industry, due to both its size and role in sustainable dredging management. The dewatering plant dewaters all dredging sludge from the continuous operations required to keep the port open for the approximately 12,000 ships that arrive in Hamburg annually. On average, METHA dewaters 300,000 tonnes of sludge each year and has the capacity to treat 1,000,000 tonnes. As part of the Hamburg Port Authority, METHA is often referred to as “the washing machine of the port of Hamburg.”
