The Euro Dredger 450, a cutter suction dredger built in the Netherlands, has been successfully launched and is now available for delivery.
This multi-purpose dredging machine is the first cutter suction dredger resulting from the partnership between Dredge Yard and Neptune Shipyards in the Netherlands.
Both companies joined forces to enable the building of the dredger that is suitable for dredging, soft and medium compacted sand and other sediments up to a dredging depth of 10 m on inland waters, rivers and lakes.
The high performance dredge pump, entirely developed and manufactured by Dredge Yard, is mounted directly onto the gearbox to save space and reduce the weight, and it is driven directly by a 634 kW diesel engine.
A hydraulic power pack of 232 kW is fitted on the main pontoon to supply hydraulic power to the cutter head, winches and spud hoist cylinders.
