Royal IHC has sold an Easydredge 3700, the largest vessel in the Easydredge series of standard twin-screw trailing suction hopper dredgers (TSHD), designed and built by IHC.
The flexible Easydredge concept can be tailor-made to suit requirements, without compromising on delivery times or price. Available from stock, they are fit for all common maintenance and land reclamation jobs and offer cost efficiency with a standard design that can be adjusted, even at a later stage, to meet specific needs.
Features
Common features of the range include specially designed Easydredge dredging equipment, an IHC dredge pump, and a slender hull for increased speed and low fuel consumption. They all have a class notation for unrestricted navigation and dredging up to 20 miles off shore with an unattended machinery space.
Dredging Equipment
The dredging equipment package includes the most commonly used dredging equipment such as an adjustable overflow, bottom doors, jet water pump and a shore pumping arrangement making it a multi-purpose hopper dredger. In addition, the dredger is provided with an extended suction tube enabling the dredger to dredge up to a depth of 50 metres by means of a submerged dredge pump.
The Easydredge 3700 will be used for land reclamation, infrastructure and beach nourishment projects on several islands and resorts in Asia, in order to support the growth of its tourism industry. Its procurement represents a significant development for the region's TSHD market.
