A Goddess For Van Oord

摘要

It was billed as a unique event - built by IHC Merwede, Athena is the largest cutter constructed in the Netherlands for a Dutch dredging company, she's Van Oord's first self-propelled CSD and she's classed as one of the world's three largest and most powerful cutters. "She might not be quite as big as our competitors' mega-CSDs, but she's much more beautiful," CEO Pieter van Oord told me on the podium as we watched Athena slide gracefully into the water.
