The flag of Ballast Ham Dredging, incorporating HAM and Ballast Nedam Baggeren, is already flying worldwide. More and more of the dredging giant's vessels are sporting the BHD logo as, for example, here in Hong Kong, where the trailing suction hopper dredger Amsterdam is discharging sand for the major Penny's Bay land reclamation project.
The 200 hectares of new land being created is destined to become a Disneyland theme park. When BHD hands over the project at the end of this year, 40 million cubic metres of clay and sludge will have been removed and 70 million cubic metres of sand will have been deposited on the site to a depth of up to 40 metres
