The Helios is one of the most powerful dredgers in the world and developed to work in extremely hard ground. Its impressive cutter ladder weighs 2,060 tons, making it the world’s heaviest.
The vessel's delivery was also discussed in SWZ Maritime's regular section "Maand Maritiem" in the July/August 2017 issue.
Below a video highlighting some of the milestones from construction to delivery (by Boskalis).
