Trailing Suction Hopper Dredger
Neptune Shipyards has built a 400 m³ Trailing Suction Hopper Dredger: the EuroHopper 400 named Sandborn. The vessel is intended for sand winning with a suction pipe trailing forward. Vuyk Engineering Rotterdam has worked on the TSHD design in close cooperation with the Neptune team.
Neptune has developed its own range of small to medium-sized Trailing Suction Hopper Dredgers (TSHD). Based on proven dredging technology and customizable, EuroHoppers ensure safe and secure dredging solutions including maintaining waterways and material extraction.
The EuroHopper range is designed and built to work the toughest environments, undertaking maintenance dredging projects in ports and coastal areas, as well as sand and aggregates extraction, for land reclamation, construction and other purposes.
EuroHopper 400 Trailing Suction Hopper Dredger specifications:
- Length: 42,00 meters;
- Width: 10,00 meters;
- Propulsion: diesel-electric;
- Hopper volume: 400 m³.
