IHC Dredging has signed a contract with PT. Dua Samudera Perkasa, a subsidiary of the Jhonlin Group, one of the largest companies in Indonesia, for the purchase of two more Beaver 65 cutter suction dredgers (CSDs). This is the second order from this company in a short period of time.
IHC Dredging’s Beaver range is known for its reliability, fuel efficiency, low maintenance costs, and performance. Both newly ordered vessels will be delivered from stock and are expected to be delivered in September 2025.
The two Beavers 65, with a 650-mm discharge pipe diameter, have an extended dredging depth of maximum 25 metres, and will be equipped with the following additional upgrades: fuel separation system, state-of-the-art radioactive production measurement system and dredge track presentation system (DTPS) with an accuracy of up to two centimetres.

This latest order follows the successful delivery in 2024 of a Beagle 4 to PT. Jhonlin Marine Trans (also a subsidiary of PT. Jhonlin Group) and of a Beaver 65 to PT. Dua Samudera Perkasa.
SAMSON, the Beagle 4, and JHONI 59, the Beaver 65 – named after the owner’s son – are currently demonstrating their dredging capabilities in Batulicin, South Kalimantan. The two vessels are maintaining the required dredging depth of the coal transport and biodiesel terminal, with IHC Dredging engineers providing continuous on-site support to ensure optimal and efficient operations.
