DETAILS OF THE CONCEPT, UTILITY AND MARKETING POTENTIALS OF

THE NIGERIAN DREDGING AND MARINE DIRECTORY

INTRODUCTION.
Nigeria’s dredging industry was formerly served exclusively by the multinational companies such as Dredging International, Westminster Dredging Boskalis, Ballast Ham Dredging, Jan de Nul and Van Oord. Since the emergence of Nigerian indigenous dredging companies in the late 1980s and early 1990s, there has been no proper compilation of the reputable firms now engaged in dredging and allied marine works in the country. Even the configuration of the multinational dredging companies has changed considerably and needs to be properly documented for public information.

The Nigerian Dredging and Marine Directory – Print Edition – will fill this gap.

WHO IS TO BE LISTED?
It will be a full-colour directory having the contact details of all reputable dredging companies and operators and other marine industry service providers such as
• Dredge owners,
• Surveyors,
• Equipment dealers, manufacturers, vendors,
• Manufacturers’ and vendors’ representative offices in Nigeria;
• Marine and maritime companies,
• Clearing and forwarding agents,
• Dredging- and marine-industry supporting banks,
• Insurance companies and,
• All stakeholders whose businesses revolve around the dredging and allied sand-winning industries.
• Federal and state government regulatory agencies whose license and registration permits are needed for dredging activities.
• Etc.

It is being conceived as a reference point for business and for history because aside from circulation in the dredging and maritime industry, copies of the directory will be donated to all Nigerian universities, colleges of technology and other relevant institutions of higher learning as a way to promote Nigeria’s dredging industry and nurture awareness about the development of indigenous dredging technology and culture.

DETAILS OF LISTING, ETC.

WHY SHOULD YOU ENLIST IN THIS COLOUR DIRECTORY?
1. Now is the time to consider how you want your company or organization to be perceived in the industry, by the society at large and by the academic community and history.
2. As well, now is the time to consider the marketing and advertising potentials arising from a fine listing of your organization in this maiden edition of the first-ever Nigerian Dredging and Marine Directory to be printed.
3. Multinational or foreign dredging companies with long history of activity in Nigeria need to update the public understanding of their nomenclature, operating details, joint ventures concluded over the years, mergers and acquisitions and other relevant details that reflect their progressive march in the Nigerian theatre of the global industry.
4. Foreign equipment manufacturers and vendors/dealers are also encouraged to reserve spaces for their companies and organizations as an extension of marketing and advertising strategy in a developing economy with dredging-dependent oil and gas sector and seaport industry.
5. As well, foreign equipment manufacturers have to reckon that the competition for the supply of dredgers via locally-made machines is restricted to small and medium scale categories; it does not affect the market for bigger dredges or hopper dredgers and their ancillary equipment.
6. Therefore a listing in this directory is essential for foreign manufacturers in other to target the market for harbor dredging and development of new deep-sea ports which is now in vogue.
7. All Nigerian regulatory ministries, departments or agencies at both federal and state levels need to take this listing seriously because it is a compendium of essential information in the public domain and will easily inform the operators about who-is-who and what-is-what in terms of required operating licenses, rules and regulations.
8. Remember that failure to enlist your organization in the directory may result in lost opportunities for the public and market place to take notice of your corporate presence, services and potentials.
