The new water injection dredger (WID) Aquadelta hit the water at Scheepswerf Bijlsma in Wartena a couple of days ago.
Bagger- en Aannemingsmaatschappij Van der Kamp has just released this amazing video of the dredger’s launching ceremony:
The Aquadelta is a diesel-electric twin propelled WID which was developed by Conoship International in close cooperation with Bagger- en Aannemingsmaatschappij Van der Kamp B.V.
This dredger is intended to inject large volumes of water into the waterbed, fluidizing the sediment so that it can flow naturally to other deeper areas.
