Damen Holds Environmental Dredging Seminar in China

Damen Shipyards Group recently held a seminar on the subject of environmental dredging for key players in the Chinese dredging industry. The two-day seminar presented several new developments from the field of environmental dredging. More than 50 representatives from over 20 Chinese dredging companies attended the seminar, which took place at the beginning of November.

The event visited two of Damen’s Chinese yards: Damen Yichang Shipyard and Damen Shipyards Changde. The invited companies included the big state-owned dredging companies as well as smaller, more local dredging companies.

The first day, the participants have visited these highlighted Damen’s dredging products and given a tour of a modern, highly automated trailer suction hopper dredger 2000 that is currently under construction at Damen Yichang Shipyard. This 2,000m3 capacity vessel is being built as part of Damen’s speculative shipbuilding program in order to ensure the delivery of vessels with short delivery times.

Day two of the itinerary, as well as showing the guests a Cutter Suction Dredger 500 that is currently under construction for stock, the yard also gave a demonstration of a DOP 200 Dredge Pump.
