Vessel Description

The Pieter Dion is a trailing suction hopper dredger operating under the Dutch flag, managed within the fleet of Royal Boskalis Westminster, one of the world's leading dredging and marine contractors. Built in 1985, the vessel is employed in marine construction, land reclamation, and maintenance dredging operations. As a hopper dredger, it is equipped to excavate sediment from the seabed, store the material in an onboard hopper, and transport and deposit it at designated disposal or reclamation sites. The vessel primarily operates in Northwest European waters, consistent with Boskalis operational activities across coastal and offshore environments.
