Overview

ISO 8385:2018 is an international standard that establishes a comprehensive classification system for dredgers used in the maritime and marine technology sectors. It covers all types of dredgers designed for loosening, raising, transporting, and disposing of dredged materials. This standard ensures consistency and clarity in the classification of dredging equipment based on functional and operational criteria. It is essential for manufacturers, operators, and regulatory bodies involved in dredging activities worldwide.

Key Topics

  • Scope and Application

    • Applies to all dredgers regardless of type, function, and environment.
    • Focus on classification through engineering condition, dredger parameters, and operating methods.
  • Classification Criteria

    • Engineering Condition: Includes area of operation (inland waterways, coastal zones, offshore, ocean-going), special environments (tropical, arctic), and soil characteristics such as silts, sands, gravels, clays, and rocks.
    • Dredger Parameters: Covers main performance parameters like hopper capacity, dredging depth, installed power, cutter head power, discharge pipeline dimensions, and bucket or grab capacities.
    • Operating Method: Details soil extraction techniques, types of dredge pumps (centrifugal, air lift, pneumatic suction), suction heads (forward suction, draghead), dredging apparatus location, operating movements (longitudinal and lateral), propulsion, and disposal/transport of dredged material.
  • Power and Fuel Types

    • Categories include diesel, electric, diesel-electric, diesel-hydraulic, electric hydraulic, and combinations.
    • Energy source options now feature Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), solar, wind, and even nuclear power for clean energy implementations.
  • Dredging Methods

    • Single and multi-bucket dredgers, cutter suction dredgers, grab dredgers, bucket chain dredgers, and rockbreakers.
    • Specific methods for loosening soil, such as powered chisels or drilling for blasting.
  • Transportability and Crew Quarters

    • Classifies the degree of transportability (non-dismountable, partly or fully dismountable).
    • Designations for crew accommodation (none, day use, sleeping quarters).

Applications

ISO 8385:2018 plays a critical role in marine construction, port development, coastal protection, and environmental remediation projects involving dredging operations. Key practical applications include:

  • Standardized Equipment Specification: Enables manufacturers to design dredgers compliant with global standards, facilitating international trade and interoperability.
  • Operational Planning and Safety: Assists operators in selecting appropriate dredger types based on environmental and soil conditions, enhancing operational efficiency and safety.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Helps regulatory bodies assess dredging equipment and methods used in projects, ensuring environmental and safety standards are met.
  • Environmental Management: Supports effective dredged material disposal strategies to minimize ecological impact.
  • Innovation and Sustainability: Incorporation of clean energy sources such as LNG, solar, and wind supports sustainable marine technology development.

Related Standards

  • ISO 8384: Ships and Marine Technology - Dredgers - Vocabulary
    Provides standardized terms and definitions referenced in ISO 8385:2018 for consistent communication and understanding.

  • ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1 and 2
    Outline editorial rules and procedures applied during the development and maintenance of ISO standards, relevant to ISO 8385’s update process.

  • International Maritime Organization (IMO) Guidelines
    Complement ISO 8385 in regulatory frameworks governing marine equipment and environmental protection.


By adopting ISO 8385:2018, stakeholders benefit from a unified framework that enhances the classification, design, and usage of dredgers, aligning with international best practices and advancing the field of ships and marine technology. This ensures efficient dredging operations, environmental stewardship, and supports sustainable marine infrastructure development globally.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 8, Ships and marine technology,
Subcommittee SC 7, Inland navigation vessels.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 8385:1999), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— two new categories of criteria: 3 “Main performance parameters” and 5 “Energy source” have
been added;
— Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) has been added to category of criteria 5 “Energy source”;
— category of criteria 9 “Method of soil extraction” has been revised and new items have been added;
— category of criteria 13 “Disposal/transport of dredged material” has been revised;
— the original classification table has been separated into three tables respectively on the basis of the
engineering condition, dredger parameters and operating method;
— the order of the classification has been adjusted.
