Royal IHC has launched the Mahury, a 1840 m3 capacity twin-screw trailing suction hopper dredger (TSHD), at partner shipyard MTG Dolphin Shipyard in Varna, Bulgaria.
The vessel is being built for Baggerbedrijf de Boer – Dutch Dredging.
Two Dredging Marks
The new TSHD is Dutch Dredging's fourth IHC-built vessel, after the Albatros, Lesse and Amazone. The Mahury is an upgraded version of the Albatros, which was delivered in 2013. The Mahury includes two dredging marks in its design that allows the vessel to operate at different distances from the shore, while still adhering to regulations. The first dredging mark is for operating within 15 miles from shore, and the second within 8 miles from shore.
The Mahury is scheduled for completion on 31 December, ten weeks before the contracted date.
