In September 2023, China State Shipbuilding Corporation’s Marine Design & Research Institute of China (MARIC) signed a design contract for three ultra-large suction dredgers with CCCC Dredging Group’s Tianjin Waterway Bureau, Shanghai Waterway Bureau and Guangzhou Waterway Bureau.
The design contract includes:
The maximum dredging depth of the new dredger is 120 meters.
According to China Association of The National Shipbuilding Industry (CANSI), the vessel will be widely used in deep-sea sand extraction and coastal deep-water harbor channel dredging operations and coastal maintenance projects.
The suction dredger is set to be equipped with a new-generation intelligent monitoring and integrated management platform developed completely independently in China.
