BREAKING NEWS: ZPMC achieves major milestone in construction of giant TSHD

ZPMC said today that a major milestone has been reached in the construction of new 30,000m³ trailing suction hopper dredger (TSHD), as the vessel’s main hull has been successfully completed.

This achievement lays a solid foundation for the next phase of equipment installation and commissioning, the company said.

The new giant dredger combines advanced capabilities such as ultra-deep dredging, powerful soil-cutting, and long-distance discharge.

Equipped with a cutting-edge intelligent dredging control system, the vessel is designed for a wide range of operations, including:

• port and channel dredging,

• sand mining,

• land reclamation, and

• deep-sea trenching and backfilling.

Its robust design ensures it meets the demands of long transport distances, extended discharge ranges, and large-scale dredging operations, ZPMC concluded.
