Vessel Description

The PECT is a mid-sized trailing suction hopper dredger built in 2001 by IHC Holland, designed for capital and maintenance dredging operations. As a trailing suction hopper dredger, the vessel is equipped with drag arms and suction pipes that trail along the seabed while the vessel is underway, drawing up sediment and water into the onboard hopper. The vessel operates primarily in European waters but is deployed internationally in support of land reclamation and port development projects. With a hopper capacity of 3,500 m³, it is suited for medium-scale dredging contracts and is part of the operational fleet associated with one of the world's leading marine dredging and offshore contractors.
