They will have a hopper capacity of 10,500cu.m. Both hoppers will qualify as Tier III vessels (IMO emission standards) and will be fitted with dual-fuel LNG propulsion system. Both vessels will be delivered in 2021. They will measure 138m long and 28m wide. The vessels will be equipped with one suction pipe with submerged e-driven dredge pump, two shore discharge dredge pumps, five bottom doors, and a total installed power of 14,500 kW. They will have accommodation for 22 persons. Van Oord has designed the vessels in-house in cooperation with DEKC Maritime from the Netherlands.
