IHC Dredging has successfully sold a refurbished Beaver® 45 to Zane Energy Ltd.
This delivery marks the third Royal IHC Beaver® dredger purchased by the long-standing customer, following their previous acquisitions of a Beaver® 1200 and a Beaver® 50.
Originally built in 2018, the Beaver® 45 underwent a comprehensive check, full overhaul, and refurbishment at Royal IHC’s yard in Kinderdijk, where the vessel was restored to optimal operational condition. The dredger is now fully prepared for new deployment with extended lifecycle value.
The newly refurbished Beaver® 45, soon to be named Cecelia’s Pride, will be deployed in the Niger Delta’s Bayelsa State, where it will support a variety of strategic operations.
The vessel is ideally suited for maintenance dredging of canals and rivers, land reclamation, and sweeping operations essential to oil and gas activities in the region.
This sale reinforces Royal IHC’s position in the region and marks the trust placed in us by Zane Energy.
‘We returned to Royal IHC because they have proven their reliability, engineering strength, and suitability for our local terrain and operational demands. Their after sales service (maintenance and support), as experienced over the span of our relationship, has been excellent’, said Idong Omo-Agege, Managing Director of Zane Energy Ltd.
The continued trust from Zane Energy underscores Royal IHC’s strong positioning as a preferred dredging partner in Nigeria and the broader African market, combining reliable equipment with lifecycle support.
Cecelia’s Pride will be delivered to the customer at the end of May.
