HollandMT: Successful commissioning of TSHD Hydromer

New dredger Hydromer was successfully commissioned and tested along the south-coast of France earlier this week.

The 1500 m3 trailing suction hopper dredger (TSHD) was built by Chantier-Piriou from Concarneau.

For this project, HollandMT supplied the complete dredging system, including:

• DN500 dragarm system,

• dredge-pump,

• jetwater system,

• dredge-pipes with bow-coupling,

• hopper discharge system (bottom-doors).

Dredging trials were successfully carried out near Le Grau-du-Roi, including shore discharge pumping test.

According to HollandMT, La-Region Occitanie will manage and operate the new dredger.
