Another major milestone reached! The electric mining cutter suction dredger (eCSD) TOMASZÓW for Quarzwerke GmbH has successfully arrived at its destination in Poland and is now in the final stages of assembly, readying for launch. 🎉
Built on our proven Beaver® 65 platform, this fully electric dredger was engineered to meet specific operational requirements, including one of its key differentiators: a demountable, road-transportable design. This enables efficient deployment to the silica sands operation TKSM Biała Góra Sp. z o.o. (Grupa Quarzwerke), providing flexibility without compromising performance.
Getting there was a true logistics achievement. The journey started at our yard in Krimpen aan den IJssel, continued by sea to Gdańsk, and concluded with approximately 500 km of road transport to the mine site. In total, the operation involved 16 special transports carrying oversized and heavy components.
We would like to thank our partners HEBO, Briese Chartering, VETRO Port & Shipping Services, Wilmer Logistics / Trans Annaberg, Sarens, and MMC Multi Marine Chartering + MTS Marine Transport Services, whose support made this successful mobilisation possible. 👏🚢🚚
Projects like this demonstrate that innovation extends beyond the vessel itself. It takes expertise, planning and seamless cooperation across multiple organisations to deliver complex mining solutions where they are needed most.
