This reduces fuel consumption and will help the dredging market to meet increasingly stringent environmental regulations. The Easydredge range incorporates the latest technology and engines to ensure green propulsion and durability. The vessels are produced using the IHC Merwede network of partner sites or on a local-for-locaol basis. The option packages can also be added later to the ship, making it a highly flexible concept. The Easydredge can be used optimally for maintenance dredging, land reclamation, and the extraction of sand and gravel at sea.

Available in three sizes (Easydredge 1300, 23), the new vessels are tailor-made using option packages and can provide a solution for any situation. The Easydredge series bridges the gap between the existing line-up of IHC Beagle standard hopper dredgers and the standard IHC Beaver cutter suction dredgers. The sophisticated design, standardised components and smart production choices make the easydredge vessel an extremely cost-effective concept with a short delivery time. This is in response to the increasing global demand for smaller dredgers.

IHC Merwede has launched a new budget range of small hopper dredgers under the name of ’Easydredge’.
