Successful commissioning TSHD Hydromer

April 2024: Dredger “Hydromer” was successfully commissioned and tested along the south-coast of France.

The 1500 m3 trailing suction hopper dredger (TSHD) was built by Chantier-Piriou from Concarneau. For this project HollandMT supplied the complete dredging system, including DN500 dragarm system, dredge-pump, jetwater system, dredge-pipes with bow-coupling and hopper discharge syste (Bottom-doors).

Dredging trials were successfully carried out near Le Grau-du-Roi, including shore discharge pumping test. La-Region “Occitanie” will manage and operate the dredger from the port of Sete.
