DCI Dredge XIX, a 5,500 cubic metre Trailing Suction Hopper Dredger (TSHD), is the latest addition from IHC Merwede to the Indian dredging fleet and will help India prepare and maintain the standards they are setting themselves for their port services. The TSHD has been built for the Dredging Corporation of India Ltd (DCI), based in Visakhapatnam, on the eastern seaboard of India. DCI is a semi-government organisation, founded in 1976, and is part of the Ministry of Shipping. It provides services to the major ports, maintaining the depths of shipping channels of India's 7,500 kilometres of coastline.
