IHC Merwede has introduced the IHC Beaver 65 DDSP, the successor to the IHC Beaver 6518. The 65 DDSP is part of the Beaver series of standard cutter suction dredgers. It is built for stock with short delivery times and designed and built under the BV Coastal Area classification.
The Beaver 65 DDSP is equipped with more cutting and pumping power than its predecessor and other dredgers in its class. It has a direct-driven submerged highly efficient pump with Curve impeller that can dredge effectively at all depths. The dredger can be set to work in inland waters as well as on the sea. It can also be equipped with the IHC Spud Guard, which won the HME Maritime Innovation Award in 2011, for more efficient operation in waves.
Ergonomics and Environment
Health and safety, and the environment play an important role in the design. Special attention has been paid to the vessel's ergonomics, especially the operating cabin and console, as well as its fuel efficiency, emissions and greasing solutions.
