The customized Damen cutter CSD500 suction dredger has been delivered with a complete dredging package contained a booster station and dredge piping enabling immediate start-up.
The Damen Field Service crew has returned from the commissioning of Barracuda cutter suction dredger in Algeria. The dredger will perform maintenance dredging in a reservoir, at an inland location in Algeria. As the reservoir dredging jobs can be quite a challenge, the standard dismount able CSD500 has been customized. It is the reason that why the CSD500 has been fitted out with a longer cutter ladder for the important dredging depth of -18m working at 45°. Moreover, the spuds, normally a distinct feature of any CSD, have been replaced by an X-mas tree. The X-mas tree is a multiple wire-based mooring system independent of the deep waters in which the ，dredger operates. The Algerian customer Hydrodragage has two more Damen dredgers performing similar tasks at other reservoirs.
