Trailing Suction Hopper Dredger (TSDH), Ilembe, with its 5,500 cubic metres hopper, is Royal IHC's latest addition to the Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) fleet. This TSHD will help TNPA maintain the standards of South Africa's eight main commercial seaports and expand the capacity of the bay of Durban Port. This latest offering will join TNPA's existing fleet of IHC-built vessels, which includes the 4,200 cubic metres TSHD Isandlwana, delivered in 2010, and the grab hopper dredger, Italeni, of 2014. TSHD llembe will replace TSHD Ingwenya, which was also built by IHC and delivered to TNPA in the early 1980.
