Immediately after completion at the Damen Dredging Equipment yard, the first-of-series cutter suction dredger (CSD) 600 has been sold to an Indonesian customer, PT. Dua Samudera Perkasa.
The dredger is part of a complete dredging package, which includes ship transportation, training of the crew on location as well as dredge spares to facilitate maintenance duties.
The CSD, which has been named Jhoni 58 after the son of the owner, was inspected at the Damen Dredging Equipment yard by the owners’ representatives.
After various test on the onboard systems, the technical acceptance was signed and the CSD600 was towed to Rotterdam. There, it was placed on deck of a heavy lift carrier for transport to Indonesia.
The dredger has a cutter power of 250 kW and a maximum dredging depth of -16 m.
Its main activity will be performing river maintenance dredging operations on the Island of Kalimantan, Indonesia.
