Cleanly keeping channels clear for commerce.
The UKD Seadragon is breathing sustainability into dredging! The vessel is a Damen Shoalbuster 2711 WID (Water Injection Dredging) specially modified to meet the requirements of UK Dredging. It features a highly efficient, low emission, IMO Tier III compliant diesel-electric propulsion system.
The Water Injection Method is highly productive and, with UK Dredging carefully scheduling its operations, nature does half the work – carrying the sediment away on the tide.
What’s more, UKD Seadragon uses a fully electric Damen E-DOP submersible dredge pump to supply water to WID operation – ensuring no risk of hydraulic oil entering the water.
Damen ensures responsible and efficient use of the increasing opportunities that oceans, seas, lakes and rivers offer mankind, through Stewardship, Craftmanship, Fellowship and Entrepreneurship. Click here and subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/2QpBSuN
