Another four dredgers to Iraq

Damen Dredging Equipment has delivered four cutter suction dredgers to the Iraqi Ministry of Water Resources. The Ministry, who already had several Damen dredgers in their fleet, will use the dredgers for maintenance dredging on the rivers and throughout the central plains.

The four cutter suction dredgers all are Damen standard dredgers, two of the CSD450 and two of the CSD500 type. All dredgers have been fitted out with various options such as anchor booms, a stern swivel, a jib crane and a non-return valve in the discharge pipe line. Extensive spare parts packages and operator training has also been arranged. Back in 2008 Damen also supplied four dredgers of the same types, which now all are operating to the Ministry’s full satisfaction at various locations in Iraq.
