Vessel Description

The MATADOR 2 is a Trailing Suction Hopper Dredger (TSHD) built in 1988 by IHC Holland, a renowned Dutch shipyard specializing in dredging vessels. With a hopper capacity of approximately 3,500 m³ and an overall length of nearly 100 meters, she represents a mid-sized dredging unit suited for capital dredging, land reclamation, beach nourishment, and maintenance dredging operations.

Operating under the Dutch flag with MMSI 245670000 and IMO 8639376, the vessel is equipped with standard Class A AIS and GMDSS communication systems. Her controllable pitch propeller (CPP) arrangement provides operational flexibility typical of dredging vessels that require precise maneuvering in port approaches and shallow coastal waters.

The vessel has been associated with leading Dutch dredging contractors and has operated primarily across Northwest European coastal and offshore environments, including the North Sea region.
