Baggerbedrijf de Boer - Dutch Dredging took delivery of a new 2.300 m³ trailing suction hopper dredger (TSHD) Magdalena at a ceremony in Haiphong, Vietnam, earlier this week.
The new TSHD was built by Nam Trieu Shipbuilding, a division under Shipbuilding Industry Corporation.
This dredging vessel, designed by Royal IHC, has an LOA of 79.95 meters and a beam of 15 meters.
The keel laying ceremony of the TSHD Magdalena took place in March 2025. The new dredger is an upgrade of the Lesse, a TSHD that was delivered by Royal IHC to Dutch Dredging in 2019.
According to Royal IHC, the new hopper meets the latest IMO Tier III – Euro Stage V environmental regulations.
