The new HS-55CB cutter suction dredger (CSD), built by Hansel Marine, a Chinese manufacturer of dredgers and dredging equipment, was successfully launched in Egypt yesterday.
The new CSD – with a customized design – was constructed by the Chinese company in accordance with the specific requirements of the dredging project and complying with the international shipbuilding standard and regulations.
According to the Nanjing City-based dredger builder, the CSD’s shallow draft design allows easy mobilization in the shallow water area.
