Cargo vessel conversion into a Trailing Suction Hopper Dredger (TSHD)

Van Ouwerkerk BV has awarded Holland Shipyards Group the contract to convert the newly acquired cargo vessel MS ‘Bente’ which measures 89.89m (length) by 14.50m (width) into a Trailing Suction Hopper Dredger (TSHD).
The converted ship will be named ‘Zeeburg‘.

The project comprises several extensive work procedures, such as modifications to the hull, an enlargement of the accommodation in the aft ship and the installation of all necessary dredging equipment.
