Dredge system of trailing suction hopper dredger

From barge to TSHD with our trail units

With our trail units you can easily convert a simple barge into a trailing suction hopper dredger (TSHD) or a stationary (hopper) dredger. Compared to a newly built TSHD, this is a simple and cost-effective way to add dredging capacity.

Benefits

  • Short conversion/modification time 
  • Relatively low investment costs (compared to a hopper dredger)
  • Low transport/mobilisation costs.
