Rohde Nielsen names its new TSHD Hermod R

Rohde Nielsen said that their new trailing suction hopper dredger (TSHD) Hermod R has been officially named at the Port of Esbjerg.

“As our newest trailing suction hopper dredger, Hermod R is built for efficient and environmentally responsible operations, with a dredging depth of up to 75 meters and a hopper capacity of 8,000 m³,” Rohde Nielsen said.

“Equipped with advanced pump systems, Dynamic Positioning, and low-emission technology, Hermod R reflects our commitment to precision, efficiency, and sustainability in global dredging operations.”

The diesel-electric TSHD already conducted its first assignment in November 2025, supporting a major coastal protection project in Portugal with placing over 3.3 million m³ of sand to rebuild eroded beaches and strengthen local coastlines.
