Transforming dredging with digital management solutions

ADAPT is a new decision support solution that combines real-time monitoring, vessel traffic data, environmental inputs, and advanced machine learning to forecast sedimentation and optimise dredging cycles.

Developed in 2024, ADAPT moves beyond physics-only models to offer improved prediction accuracy for operators of more complex channels and waterways. It supports smarter, data-led dredging schedules — ensuring port planners, harbour masters, environmental officers and finance teams can make proactive, confident decisions.

  • Real-time foresight: Live data and monitoring combined

  • Smarter planning: ML forecasts optimise dredging

  • Trusted decisions: Supports all key stakeholders
