12″ Self Manoeuvering Cutter Suction Dredger

The 12” SM CSD-300 biggest model is often used in Marina’s that are connected to the ocean, or North Sea. In these places a harsh environment caused by wind, waves, rain and low temperatures require a bigger pontoon and a bigger and more comfortable operating cabin. Also the quantities of dredged materials is often bigger. This 12″ self manoeuvring cutter suction dredger is mainly used for maintenance dredging jobs in marina’s, but can also be used successfully in canals, rivers, and lakes. It is a multi-purpose type with bigger pontoons and bigger cabin compared to the 10″ SM CSD-250 and therefore this machine is so very popular for contractors that contract many different marina’s connected to the open sea. Sand and clay cutters can be mounted, dredging depth can be adapted, cutting tools can be changed, and various working methods can be chosen. Spuds are equipped with hydraulic chain drive which enable the operator to actively hoist and push the spuds for controlled hoisting and good bottom penetration. Optionally a spud carriage can be installed. These 12″ SM CSD-300 are delivered to many countries around the world, pictures show dredgers supplied to Belgium and United Kingdom.
