Asia's largest dredging vessel to start trial voyage

With 6,600-kilowatt dredging equipment, the vessel can mince and relocate around 6,000 cubic meters of hard rocks, silt, and mixture from the seabed within one hour. The vessel's working method will minimize damage to the surrounding sea environment and thus limit distress to marine animals in the area.

Four types of drifts are equipped on board to cope with different geological conditions, enabling the vessel to excavate rocks with a confined compression resistance strength within 50 MPa.
