Royal Van der Leun has been awarded the electrical engineering scope for a new Easydredge® 2700XL Trailing Suction Hopper Dredger (TSHD), currently under construction by Royal IHC for a dredging project in West Africa.
With the contract now signed, our engineering team is getting straight to work alongside Royal IHC. During this phase, we will develop the vessel’s electrical engineering package, laying the foundation for the next stages of the project.
The vessel will be built at Nam Trieu Shipyard in Hai Phong, Vietnam, just a short drive from our engineering and production branch. Our local presence enables close cooperation with the shipyard and project partners, ensuring efficient communication and support throughout the engineering phase.
The Easydredge® 2700XL, with a hopper capacity of approximately 3000 m³, will be used to maintain the navigability of the Congo River, helping to keep the ports of Boma and Matadi accessible for international shipping.
Another great project where our global presence and local expertise come together. We look forward to working closely with Royal IHC, Nam Trieu Shipyard and all project partners throughout the project.
