Delivery of the vessel is scheduled for the second quarter of 2012.
The new 104m-long cutter suction dredger of type IHC Beaver® 9029C is equipped with three Cutter Special® dredge pumps, which are specially designed with a large sphere passage for cutter suction dredge operations. The anchor boom and spud-tilting installations are said to allow the dredger to operate in remote areas with limited support equipment. The large fuel oil carrying capacity also allows for a high level of autonomy.
