Van Oord has placed an order for two trailing-suction hopper dredgers. Each vessel will feature a complete MAN Diesel & Turbo propulsion package.
The vessels will be constructed at CNN LaNaval Shipyard in Sestao, Spain with delivery dates scheduled for 2017.
The order is part of Van Oord’s continuous investment programme.
The new dredgers will have a hopper capacity of approximately 17,000 m3, a length of 158 metres and a width of 36 metres. They will also be equipped with two suction pipes with submerged e-driven dredge pumps, two shore-discharge dredge pumps, six bottom doors and a total installed power of 23,680 kW. The newbuildings will each have accommodation for 38 persons.
Green credentials
Special attention was paid to the energy-efficiency of the vessels. The design includes several aspects which result in substantial reductions in fuel consumption and consequently a fall in CO2 emissions. The vessels will be equipped with innovative and sustainable systems and will both obtain a Green Passport and Clean Ship Notation.
