Vessel Description

ROTESAND SD18 is a German government-operated self-propelled suction dredger operating under the authority of the Federal Waterways and Shipping Administration of Germany. Built in 1989, the vessel is employed in maintenance dredging operations along the German North Sea coast and associated tidal waterways. The designation "SD18" reflects her classification within the trailing suction dredger fleet managed by the WSA.

The vessel is registered under the German flag and transmits AIS data identifying her vessel type as a dredger.
