Keel laying ceremony of UKD Seadragon takes place in Gdansk

A keel laying ceremony of the UKD Seadragon took place in Gdansk, Poland, recently.

The UKD Seadragon is a diesel electric Damen 2711 Shoalbuster that will carry the water injection dredging (WID) for UK Dredging around the coast of the UK.

“This expansion to the fleet adds another form of dredging to UK Dredging’s portfolio. We expect the vessel to come into service Q1 2025,” said UK Dredging.

Also, she is specified to provide  multi purpose dredging support with WID, bed-levelling, buoy handling and survey capability.

Her WID Skid and 10 metre plough is capable of working at a depth of 25 metres.
