J F J de Nul

The constructed weight of this new vessel will in fact, be the same as the combined weight of cutter suction dredgers Taurus and Ursa.
The weight of the ladder is 1450 tons, which is the immense mass necessary for steady rock dredging.

The new dredger is designed to work from a relatively modest dredging depth of 6.5 m up to a depth of 35 m. For this purpose the cutter ladder is equipped with two sets of trunnions. This dredger will be able to dredge sand, clay and rock.

The dredged material can be pumped ashore through a floating pipeline or, as she is also equipped with a barge loading installation, into barges moored alongside. The vessel will be built at the IHC Shipyard in Kinderdijk, the Netherlands and scheduled to be handed over in the fourth quarter of 2003.
