The second Cutter Suction Dredger (CSD) 600 in Damen’s new series of standard dredgers is on its way to a river maintenance dredging project in record time. The first type of the new generation customised dredger will be delivered to an Asian customer, complete with a crew training programme on location.
The CSD 600 is a standard stationary dredger designed for optimal performance and efficiency. The reliable and robust dredger has a 600mm dredge pipe diameter and dredges up to -16 metres. The 250-kW cutter power will enhance the owner’s fleet dredging capabilities, removing compacted and hardened soils. The powerful dredger, which is designed for single-handed operations, is designed for fuel efficiency and has 1980-kW of power installed.
“The delivery of this unit marks a significant step for the owner,” Damen Sales Manager, Inge Hoogenboezem, says. “The fleet expansion with cutting-edge dredging equipment will allow them to efficiently execute a river maintenance dredging project. We are pleased that our stock CSD 600 dredger meets their tight planning.”
The high-performance dismountable dredger was available from stock, ensuring a short delivery time. Easily transportable to all corners of the globe, Damen says the CSD 600 is designed to last for years to come.
