The last week of November saw the hand-over ceremony of the “Amoris” cutter suction dredger. The one-off, built by Damen Dredging Equipment in only 14 months time, has now arrived in Antwerp where it will work on the polluted silt treatment plant of SeReAnt.
The stationary cutter suction dredger with its 450 mm discharge diameter, is a dredging tool designed to very specific customer specifications. During the design and building process Damen Dredging Equipment and SeReAnt cooperated closely to integrate all requirements in the dredger. The dredger is for instance fitted out with 4 spuds of which 2 are placed in spud carriages to ensure a continuous and smooth dredging process.
