In a special presentation the IADC president Robert van Gelder handed over the first three jubilee editions to Peter Struijs, president of the Port of Rotterdam; Erik van den Eede, president of the International Navigation Association; and Toh Ah Cheong, director of the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore.

The jubilee issue of Terra et Aqua presents a selection on infrastructure projects from the last 40 years in which the private dredging industry played a crucial role. The selection also shows how dredging has contributed to world trade, coastal defence, urban and industrial development, energy supplies, the development of ecology and tourism.

Photographs accompanying the text are a testimony to 40 years of intensive infrastructure construction.

They show the projects that have changed the way we live and the way we play. Fundamentally, they show how the dredging and maritime construction industries have changed the world.
