Vessel Description

The vessel is a trailing suction hopper dredger designed and operated for capital and maintenance dredging operations. Built by IHC Holland in 2000, she forms part of the Royal Boskalis Westminster fleet, one of the world's leading dredging and maritime services companies headquartered in the Netherlands. As a trailing suction hopper dredger, the vessel is equipped to excavate sediment from the seabed while underway, store the dredged material in her onboard hopper, and transport it to designated disposal or reclamation sites. The vessel is well suited for port approach channel maintenance, navigational fairway deepening, and beach nourishment projects. Her Dutch registry and call sign PGCP reflect her continued operation under the flag of the Netherlands, consistent with the broader Boskalis fleet composition.
