Damen Shipyards Group, a leading manufacturer of dredgers and dredging equipment, is pleased to announce the successful sale and delivery of the second Cutter Suction Dredger (CSD) 600 in its new series of standard dredgers. The CSD was available from stock, ensuring a short delivery time. The customised dredger will be delivered to an Asian customer, complete with a crew training programme on location.

The CSD 600, the first type of the new generation of Damen dredgers, is a standard stationary dredger designed for optimal performance and efficiency. The reliable and robust dredger has a 600 mm dredge pipe diameter, and dredges up to -16 metres. With its 250 kilowatts cutter power it enhances the owner’s dredging capabilities, removing compacted and hardened soils.
