Proud to announce the successful relaunch of our cutter suction dredger KSR-VII Royal IHC Beaver 5016-C in the Maldives following the completion of her extensive bi-annual maintenance and upgrade program.
Over the past two months, KSR-VII underwent major maintenance, repair, and renewal works to ensure she continues operating at the highest standards for upcoming reclamation projects in the Maldives. The works included:
• Major hull renewal works
• Complete discharge and suction pipeline renewal
• Installation of new spud brackets
• Ladder strengthening and structural reinforcement
• New gearbox installation and alignment works
• Full main engine and auxiliary engine maintenance
• Installation of new sacrificial anodes
• Extensive steel and fabrication works
• Mechanical and hydraulic system overhauls
• Complete blasting and brand-new paint job
A special thank you to the entire KSR-VII crew, technical staff, yard workers, subcontractors, and the KSR Marine management team for their relentless hard work and commitment throughout the maintenance period.
With her maintenance completed successfully, KSR-VII is now back in operation and fully prepared to undertake another major reclamation project in the Maldives.
At KSR Marine Services, we remain committed to maintaining our fleet to the highest operational standards to deliver reliable and efficient dredging solutions across the region.
