Damen Achieves Milestone in Russia

In 2016, Damen delivered 250 vessels including 16 vessels delivered to Russia, IAA PortNews correspondent cited Olivier Marcus, Product Director Dredging at Damen Shipyards Gorinchem.

Marcus said this at today’s 4th International Forum of Dredging Companies which was opened earlier this morning in Moscow.

“We delivered 4 TSHD ships (one TSHD 2000 ship with hopper capacity of 2,000 cub. m. was built in Vietnam and three TSHD 1000 ships with hopper capacity of 1,000 cub. m. were built by Krasnoye Sormovo shipyard to Damen design), eight CSD (one of them, CSD 650, was built in Russia), 38 dredger pumps and other equipment,” said Marcus.

The company has designed a range of TSHD ships for dredging operations in water areas of ports, canals, rivers and lakes.
