After a period of maintenance, the trailing suction hopper dredger (TSHD) Christophorus of Van den Herik is back at work.
According to Royal IHC , the TSHD is “ fully operational again, doing what she is designed for – reliable and efficient dredging.”
Dredger’s specifications:
Van den Herik has been active in the field of hydraulic engineering since the 1940s. Starting as a company involved in bank protection, they subsequently grew into a versatile business with a portfolio covering both ‘wet’ and ‘dry’ infrastructure.
Their fleet includes hopper and cutter dredgers, but also crane ships, workboats and hydraulic cranes on pontoons.
