LNG-fueled dredger begins sea trials
DEME informed that the sea trials of its LNG-fueled trailing suction hopper dredger Bonny River, have started in the South China Sea. The dredger is able to dredge very hard soil, as well as work in water depths of up to 100m.
Thanks to the hull’s design, the ‘Bonny River’ with its transport capacity of 24,000 tonnes, has a limited depth when loaded, making the ship capable of coastal protection assignments, even in regions with shallow beaches.
