The 60-metre long dredger from Damen Port & Maintenance series has a maximum hopper volume of 1,000 m3.
It features a bow thruster and twin azimuth thrusters to ensure the outstanding maneuverability necessary to maintain safe access in the harbor’s long entrance.
Reflecting the clients’ firm focus on increased sustainability, the TSHD will operate ballast water free with maximum crew comfort, and will be IMO TIER III ready and delivered with a green passport.
Damen’s new TSHD 1000 will provide an important addition to the Port’s fleet, replacing the long-serving vessel New Era, when she arrives in early 2027.
