IHC Merwede launches first IHC Beaver 65 DDSP

摘要

IHC Merwede has successfully launched the first IHC Beaver 65 DDSP at the company's Sliedrecht shipyard in The Netherlands. The successor to the highly successful IHC Beaver 6518 is part of the renowned IHC Beaver series of standard cutter suction dredgers. The new vessel has been designed with a Directly Driven Submerged Pump (DDSP) mounted on the cutter ladder. This feature means that it is possible to dredge at high-mixture densities, as there will be no limitation on the vacuum - even at larger dredging depths.
