Date: 2 December
Damen in The Netherlands is supplying a number of items of equipment for a new hopper dredger which is being built in Canada, which will perform the maintenance dredging activities of the St Lawrence Seaway. Ocean’s companies, the shipbuilder and future dredging contractor, have opted for a proven design, fitted out with a Damen trailing pipe and other Damen dredging gear.
The self-propelled 62m long, 1,180m3 split hopper dredger will be fitted out with a 500mm trailing pipe. The vessel, built under Germanischer Lloyd and provided with a Transport Canada certificate, has a Damen dredge pump capable of 5,500m3/h.
Other elements of the Damen delivery are the overflows, the jetwater monitors, the dredging instrumentation and the bow coupling unit. Damen Dredging also supplied a steel package for the hull. The vessel is currently under construction at the Groupe Ocean yard at Isle-aux-Coudres and will be launched in July next year.
The short delivery time is possible as the vessel is a sister vessel of Omvac Diez, recently built in Spain to the design of the naval architect Carceller. The construction of the vessel is a close cooperation of Carceller, Damen and Ocean.
