Bristol Port’s new dredger almost ready for delivery

The Bristol Port will soon be home to a new state-of-the-art cutter suction dredger, which is currently close to completion at the Neptune yard in the Netherlands.

Set for delivery by December 2024, this powerful vessel will significantly enhance Bristol Port’s dredging capabilities.

The new dredger, named ‘Trym’, has been customised specifically to meet the unique demands of the port’s dredging projects and keeping the dock waterways navigable.

This dredger excels at cutting through seabed mud, using a rotating cutter head to churn the mud up.

The design has also been made to allow for future green technologies to be incorporated and upgraded to continuously improve the vessels systems and support the port’s environmental goals.
