Later, Mr. David Patman, Chairman of the International Dredging Association of the World Dredging Association, and Mr. Huo Shengyong, General Manager of CCCC Shanghai Dredging Co., Ltd. successively delivered closing speeches. In the warm applause of the delegates, the 22nd World Dredging Conference came to a successful conclusion. .

Participants said that the 22nd World Dredging Conference was very successful. Mr. You Han, the chairman of the preparatory committee of the next World Dredging Conference, said with great humor that he was under pressure because the success of the 22nd World Dredging Conference has also set a multi-faceted record. He only has the best efforts to raise his hands and feet. Can do everything possible to achieve similarities.

What is the significance of the current conference and the publication of the "Shanghai Consensus" on the development of the dredging industry? How will the future dredging industry pursue sustainable goals? With these questions for the majority of dredging peers, the reporter interviewed Qian Xianguo, secretary general of the China Dredging Association.

Pening Ceremony

The 22nd World Dredging Conference achieved good results and was unanimously affirmed by the leaders of the World Dredging Association and representatives of Chinese and foreign participants. The conference was so concerned by the industry and caused widespread repercussions. A very important factor is that the time node of the conference is at a critical stage of dredging the industry's transformation and upgrading. The global dredging industry faces major challenges, how to recognize and respond to challenges? How to find the correct direction and path of dredging and sustainable development? How to strengthen the service capacity building of the world dredging industry? These are major issues that the dredging industry is very concerned about and are exploring in depth. Secretary-General Qian Xianguo said that this conference is to focus on these issues to locate the theme and form of the conference, and strive to guide the industry to explore the necessity, reality and principle of the sustainability of dredging industry in an in-depth and systematic way.

Secretary-General Qian said that General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out many times that the world today is in a state of great change in the past 100 years. In this period of change, the market environment of the dredging industry is also undergoing profound changes. For dredging, there are several basic reflections of changes in this period. First, the global economic and political order has been continuously reconstructed, the market competition pattern has been continuously adjusted, and the factors that drive the growth of trade, population, energy and other dredging industries have been constantly changing, which has had a great impact on the market of dredging traditional forms. Second, global climate change, frequent ecological and environmental disasters, and the global ecosystem are facing serious threats. Green development has no choice but to become the only way for the world to build an ecological civilization. The traditional extensive development mode of resource and environmental loss is difficult to sustain. The tide of promoting sustainable development will inevitably affect the dredging industry. Compared with the 20 years of the new century, in recent years, the situation of strong market demand in the past dredging industry in the past has not reappeared, directly affecting the full capacity of dredging enterprises. freed. Third, a new round of technology and industrial revolution is poised for growth, and some major disruptive technologies are beginning to “reform” traditional industries. Fourth, within the framework of the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda, economic and social development must be based on ecological priority, high efficiency, and high quality. This undoubtedly requires that the dredging industry must comprehensively improve the service capacity of green infrastructure construction, that is, It is said that in the stage of high-quality development, the dredging industry can only adapt to or meet the high-quality demand of the market by accelerating the improvement of high-quality supply capacity. This means that the dredging industry should adjust the “backward production capacity” that is obviously unsuitable, from technical means. To the mode of production, we must keep up with the pace of development in the times.

Secretary-General Qian believes that the progress of the times is an objective and objective law of history. The dredging industry is also the continuous development of the ship developed in the era of riding, and it has become a high-tech form of modern technology. Taking advantage of the trend and taking advantage of the situation is the only rule for the dredging industry to seize development opportunities and accelerate the entry into a new stage of development. As a dredging industry in the basic industry, since the big environment has undergone profound changes, it is only for the dredging enterprises that they can continue to move forward only if they actively respond, change, and change.

Growth and development are the "big theme" and "hard truth" of the common concern of the dredging industry. The elites of the global dredging industry gather together. It seems that many exchanges of academic and technical issues are actually the development of the industry behind the development of the industry. Innovation. Therefore, the current conference focused on the current “pain points” and “hot spots” in the dredging industry in terms of the theme, form and specific activities.

The “pain point” is the “bottleneck” in the current growth of the dredging industry. First, the scale of dredging market and the decline in demand are obvious. The problem of “starting” of some dredging companies in China is similar. European dredging enterprises also have similar experiences. Second, the Chinese government's policy of prohibiting reclamation is strictly forbidden, which has a significant impact on the market share of dredging enterprises in landfilling. Third, there is no objective and comprehensive understanding of the ecosystem function and impact of dredging projects in the society. Some management departments and experts have some one-sided understanding of the dredging industry. Fourth, there are also some comrades in the dredging industry who have the idea of blindly waiting for policy protection. In the face of profound changes in the big environment, it is necessary to clarify the direction of development.

The “hot spot” is to clarify how the “disintegration” of the dredging industry is “ecological”? How to transform traditional dredging into sustainable dredging through innovation?

In response to these "pain points" and "hot spots", the organizers of the conference firmly grasped the main line of "disintegration and sustainable change and innovation" in the theme of the conference and important agenda arrangements, and planned keynote reports, invited reports, main forums, and parallel meetings. Academic exchanges and special conferences, mainly through the exchanges and discussions of leaders, experts and dredging peers, play a role in triggering thinking, deepening understanding and building consensus.

The main forum of “more dredging and ecological harmony”

Secretary-General Qian mentioned the three key points highlighted by the conference. The first is the theme of “routification and ecological harmony”. It guides participants to explore the perspective of how to promote the traditional dredging industry under the general environment of promoting ecological civilization construction. A major issue in ecosystem relations. The second is to cooperate with the Chinese Society of Environmental Sciences, the National Engineering Laboratory for Lake Water Pollution Control and Ecological Restoration Technology, the Institute of Lake Environment of the Chinese Academy of Environmental Sciences, and the National Engineering Research Center for Dredging Technology and Equipment to organize the “Mr. Dredging and Ecological Harmony”. Forum, invited the chairman of the China Dredging Association, Wang Haihuai, vice president of China Communications Construction, Laborui, President of the World Dredging Association, Liu Hongzhi, Deputy Secretary General of the Chinese Society of Environmental Sciences, Kang Xuezeng, General Manager of Yongding River Basin Investment Co., Ltd., and other experts "How to understand the initial heart of dredging", "protecting the ecological environment is the only way for human development", "the role and conflict of dredging industry and environmental protection", "the direction of sustainable development of dredging industry" and "trying to build an ecological dredging system" Cooperated with China Ocean University, China Ocean Development Foundation and other units to hold the main forum of “Ecological Dredging • Future Ocean • Sustainable Development”, invited Li Huajun, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Pan Xinchun, Secretary General of China Ocean Development Foundation, and CCIC Chairman Hou Xiaoming, Dale, Netherlands Fan Rui, Professor of the Department of Dredging and Ocean Engineering at Futur University of Technology, and Dave, President of IHC, the Netherlands, and other experts in marine development, discuss “the “prosperity to the sea” and the sustainable development of the dredging industry”, “How the dredging industry is driving the future ocean "Growth of growth in economic development", "Mission of marine ecological environmental protection and dredging industry" "Development of 'blue and green blending' of the dredging industry" and other topics; also cooperated with the China Communications Dr. Group to hold a "high-end forum for integrated river basin management." The third is the release of the "22nd World Dredging Conference - Shanghai Consensus for Promoting Dredging and Sustainable Development", which establishes the strategic goal of the global dredging industry to jointly promote sustainable dredging. The various heavyweight discussions arranged by the conference and the World Dredging Association leaders meeting and multi-level dialogue and exchange activities have strengthened the main theme of this conference. Through careful planning and organization, the meeting has many agendas, fast pace, and strong content. Therefore, more than 700 participants from more than 20 countries focus on the dredging industry to transform and innovate, accelerate the process of sustainable development, and promote consensus. A positive role.

One of the highlights of this conference is to raise the importance of “ecologicalization” of dredging industry and create “ecological dredging”. Wang Haihuai, chairman of the China Dredging Association, made an important speech at the opening ceremony of the conference and clearly stated that it is necessary to "adhere to ecological priorities and strive to be the world's ecological dredging actors." Later, in the summit forum of “more dredging and ecological harmony”, Chairman Wang further pointed out clearly that “the dredging industry needs a profound transformation. This transformation is to grasp the ecological nature of dredging and consciously follow the harmonious symbiosis between man and nature. 'The leading principle, from the traditional format to the green format, comprehensively build an ecological dredging technology system, and contribute wisdom and strength to building a better human home." In this regard, Secretary-General Qian Xianguo said that this session of the General Assembly is a platform for in-depth discussion of the world dredging industry. The Chinese dredging industry is proposing to develop ecological dredging at this time, which will inevitably have a positive impact and clearly define the development of ecological dredging. The significance is very significant. This will prompt the dredging industry to adapt to the general requirements of ecological civilization construction, accelerate the liberation of the traditional production methods, concrete and systematic green development, and truly enter a new stage of sustainable development.

World Federation of Dredging Association leaders go hand in hand

The world dredging industry is a big family with close interests and destiny. Secretary-General Qian said that despite the competition among different stakeholders, under the impetus of global economic integration and industrial transformation, cooperation is the common interest, fundamental interests and long-term interests. Therefore, the conference not only formed the "Shanghai Consensus", but also introduced the exploration and practice of the Chinese dredging industry in the field of water environment ecological governance and restoration through various aspects of communication and communication, as well as the European countries in the "Building with Nature" project. In-depth exploration of the experience. At the same time, after many consultations with the leaders of the regional associations, they also reached an agreement on the establishment of a special technical research group within the platform and framework of the World Dredging Association. This will expand cooperation and promote technology in the world dredging industry. Progress will have a major impact.
