As there appeared to be a market for renting vessels and equipment, IHC Merwede now offers standard IHC Beaver dredgers and DMC work boats for rent on the https://www.rentadredger.com/[rent a dredger website].
In August, the first dredger – an IHC Beaver 40 – was rented out to a contractor in Europe. The dredger was loaded onto trucks and transported to the dredging site, where it was deployed by a team of IHC Merwede engineers. The vessel will be used to deepen a river in order to increase its capacity.
Specific Demands for a Limited Time
The nature of some dredging projects requires the deployment of specific dredgers for a limited time frame. This could be because the dredging project itself is relatively small or an additional dredger is only required at a particular point in the project.
In such cases, the expansion of the dredging fleet on a temporary basis through a rental service is an attractive option. Apart from the vessels, IHC can also deliver the training and technical support.
Rental Formula
IHC already applies the rental formula in other market segments, such as the offshore wind sector, through its business units IHC Hydrohammer, IHC Handling Systems, IHC Sea Steel, and IHC Fundex Equipment.
