The dredger is a dismountable cutter suction dredger and non-propelled and equipped with an anchor boom installation. The hull consists of six pontoons designed for simple and quick assembly and dismantling. The cutter is driven by slow-running hydraulic motors. The two spuds are each operated by means of a hydraulic ram. All winches are driven by slow-running hydraulic motors. The main engines and hydraulic installation are remote controlled from the dredge master’s desk.
