The Art of Dredging

I am Marc Van de Velde; dredger captain.   

In "Topics" I share some of the experience of a life onboard dredgers. 

It's an entirely personal choice; issues that matter to me, dredging and shipping. 

"There is no use for experience, if it is not shared with others. And there is no real excuse not to share it."

"In the old days, experience was a personal thing, gained through many years at sea. These days careers are shorter, experience should -necessarily- be a broad community thing, shared between professionals, to obtain the high level of experience, required to do the job."
