Damen dredger working 24/7 to keep the Indonesian economy afloat (VIDEO)

Damen has presented a video about the hopper dredger Barito Equator working in the Java Sea, Indonesia.

For ten years, this trailing suction hopper dredger has been making her rounds day and night to keep this busy waterway accessible.

The vessel — ordered by the Indonesian dredging company Pelayaran Fortuna Nusantara Megajaya (PFNM) — is being used to dredge and maintain the economically vital cargo transport route in South Kalimantan.

With an overall length of 80.35 meters, the vessel has a trailing dredging depth of 22 meters with 750 mm dredging pipe.
