Taihu Lake dredging project in full swing

A new phase of ecological dredging recently commenced in Taihu Lake with a ceremony in Wuxi, China.

The integrated dredging vessel, constructed by ZPMC’s subsidiary, Qidong Marine Engineering, has begun its service for the project.

The zero-emission vessel comprises the intelligent environmental dredger “Taihu Junqing,” the debris removal vessel “Taihu Star 1,” and the sludge dewatering vessel “Taihu Star 2.”

The vessel, specifically designed for Taihu Lake, has a daily dredging capacity of 5000 cubic meters, and will greatly accelerate the lake’s dredging progress.
