ECTMarine Cutter Suction Dredgers:

Cutter Suction Dredgers (CSD) are equipped with a rotating cutter head that is used to break up and loosen the bottom sediment, which is then suctioned up and pumped out of the dredger. The cutter head on a CSD is made up of rotating blades that can be adjusted to cut through different types of sediment, such as sand, clay, and rock. The dredged material is pumped through a pipeline to a designated discharge location, such as a disposal site or a reclamation area.

We operate globally
What does ECT offer?

CSDs are specialized vessels used for dredging operations in harbors, rivers, and other bodies of water. CSDs are typically used for deepening navigation channels, constructing new ports or harbors, and maintaining existing waterways.

CSDs come in various sizes and capacities, with some capable of dredging up to several thousand cubic meters of sediment per hour. They are commonly used in dredging operations around the world and are an essential part of many construction and maintenance projects related to maritime infrastructure.
