FKAB Marine Design products

The FKAB/HollandMT Dredge-X800 design is a Backhoe Pontoon Dredger accommodating a Liebherr P9800. The Dredge-X800 is fitted with 2 fixed spuds and one “walking” forward spud. All spuds can be tilted by cylinders, with wires still attached and can be fastened horizontal on deck for (sea-) towage. The hull is a sturdy welded construction with double bottom and sides.

Alvar Nuñez Cabeza de Vaca and Sebastiano Caboto are dredgers specifically designed for operation in shallow waters with hopper capacity of 3 400 m³ and a loaded draught of only 5 meters. The new hopper dredgers are under construction and will be delivered in 2011 by Tianjin Xinhe Shipyard in the Peoples Republic of China.
