The global trade carried out through the sea is also rising and more goods are being shipped through the sea using large container vessels and ships. Due to this reason, port infrastructure needs to be expanded and for this purpose dredging is required to keep the ports in working condition. In addition, since the global demand for energy and gas is rising, exploration of oil and gas is done mostly in remote areas and in this process, dredging companies are required to construct ports. Dredging is also being carried out on beaches to keep them in prime condition.

Dredging is an activity of excavation carried out underwater, in the shallow seas or in freshwater areas in order to gather up bottom sediments from the seabed or the riverbed. Dredging is used to keep the waterways navigable and to create an anti-sludge path for boats. Dredging is also used to refill sand on the beaches, where the sand has been lost due to coastal erosion.
