Vessel Description

Ora et Labora is a Belgian-flagged trailing suction or cutter-type dredger operated by Vlaamse Waterweg NV, the Flemish government agency responsible for the management and maintenance of inland waterways in Belgium. The vessel was constructed in 1995 at the Belgian shipyard Scheepswerven van Langerbrugge and is primarily engaged in maintenance dredging operations along the Belgian inland waterway network, including the Scheldt river and associated canal systems. The vessel's name, Latin for "Pray and Work," reflects a traditional Benedictine motto and is characteristic of the naming conventions used within the Flemish waterway fleet. Operating under Belgian flag with MMSI 205240000, the vessel maintains an active AIS presence supporting navigational safety across its operational zones.
