Shifting Sands for Marine Aggregates Dredging

Hanson Aggregates Marine, which dredges and delivers to 20 wharves around the UK, Holland, Belgium and France, has surrendered two areas of licensed seabed earmarked for aggregates dredging. The move reflects the companys stated wish to reduce the sea space under its control whilst recognising the granting of new licenses in a major resource in the Eastern English Channel.
