This is the first announcement of the next World Dredging Congress. Under the theme of “The Art of Dredging” WODCON XX will take place from 3 to 7 June 2013 in Brussels, Belgium. World Dredging Congresses (WODCONs) are organised once every three years by one of the three sister associations of WODA, the World Organisation of Dredging Associations. First organised in 1967, nearly half a century ago, and held throughout the world since, this series of congresses has become the highlight of the dredging professionals calendar. In 2013 it will be CEDA’s turn again to organise the Congress and CEDA selected Brussels, the capital of Europe to give home to this prestigious event.
