This new cutter suction dredger is a sister vessel to the dredger Amsterdam that was delivered to the Brazilian company Construtora Vale Verde in 2019.

The Holanda is a fully dismountable, stationary dredger fitted out for one-man operation and will join Amsterdam to work in tailing ponds in one of the mining regions of Brazil.

“The CSD350 Holanda has been loaded on trucks on a misty Dutch morning, heading for Antwerp. There, the disassembled cutter suction dredger was hoisted on board of a freight vessel,” the company said in their latest announcement.

Upon arrival, the dredger will be transported by truck to the job site.
