BP and US authorities ignore Belgian dredger technology and expertise

The Belgian dredging companies DEME and Jan De Nul are struggling to understand why BP and the US authorities have not called on them in the wake of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. They already made propositions to BP and the US Army Corps of Engineers last month to help in sealing the leak and cleaning up the oil spill, but did not meet with a positive response.
