Damen delivers CSD 350 to Guyana

Damen Shipyards Group has recently delivered a Damen CSD 350 cutter suction dredger to Guyana Port Inc. (GPI).

The stationary dredger is second hand, and the purchase was brokered by Damen and delivered to the site with a comprehensive start-up package including floating pipelines, spare parts, commissioning and training.

After finalizing its initial dredge project, the modular dredger was ready for its next assignment.

Damen Trading delivered it to GPI, which is dedicated to advancing Guyana’s maritime infrastructure and supporting the nation’s economic growth through port expansion.

The cutter suction dredger will remove build-up sediment from the key shipping channels in the Demerara River, increasing navigational depths ensuring safe and efficient vessel traffic.

In addition, the CSD 350 will be deepening key areas of the port of Georgetown itself, so as to meet international standards and allow further shore based facilities to be developed.
