Envisioning a Sustainable Future
for the UAE and Beyond

NMDC Dredging & Marine is committed to environmental protection, operational efficiency, and energy innovation. Through our comprehensive sustainability strategy, we endeavor to make a positive impact on our local environments, and contribute to the UAE’s Sustainable Development Goals.

Sustainability
at NMDC Dredging & Marine

For us, sustainability is at the core of our business. Every day, we strive to operate in the most responsible way we can, for our people, our wildlife, and the planet.

We implement rigorous controls to monitor our impact on the environment throughout any dredging and marine project work, and are always looking for innovative ways to improve our environmental performance inside and outside of our business activities.

Our sustainability vision focuses on 3 key pillars: operational optimization, environmental preservation services, and energy transition projects and collaborations. Through this multifaceted approach, we strive to minimize our environmental impact and contribute to sustainable development.

Together, we are protecting our coastal and marine habitats.

  • Impact Mitigation

    As a marine business, we have a responsibility to protect our oceans. To do so, we implement rigorous controls during any dredging and reclamation work, as well as carrying out regular water quality tests, and surveys to monitor underwater noise and our impact on coastal ecology.

  • Operational Efficiency

    NMDC Dredging & Marine recognizes the importance of operating in an environmentally friendly way, playing our part in addressing the climate impact of our industry through implementing a robust Environmental Management System manual and monitoring and reducing our greenhouse gas emissions.

  • Habitat Expansion

    We are committed to ensuring our seas remain a thriving home for diverse wildlife, and continually take steps to minimize the impact of our activities on our precious and globally significant marine habitats – vital to the survival of both native and migrating species.

  • Marine Environments

    Through the Abu Dhabi National Waterways Cleaning Campaign, NMDC Dredging & Marine contributed to the cleaning of the entirety of Abu Dhabi’s shoreline, helping to remove 42 tons of waste, significantly improving the health of the marine environment, and supporting biodiversity.

  • Marine Wildlife

    To preserve the lifecycle of ospreys and other birds, we have installed 135 nesting platforms, enabling perching, hunting and nesting behaviors. We also regularly take steps to reduce our impact on dugong migrations, and implement additional controls when turtles are nesting and hatching, as well as during coral spawning seasons.

Our Projects

At NMDC Dredging & Marine, the health of our marine ecosystem is our top priority, governing our decisions, and guiding our conduct. For every project undertaken, we implement the strictest methods of environmental preservation, and strive to leave our coastal environments better than we found them.
