Dredging
Boskalis has commissioned its brand-new 31,000 m3 trailing suction hopper dredger Seaway.
Following sea trials in the North Sea, the vessel has started working on its first project.
That first assignment takes place in the Netherlands, off the coast of Den Helder. There, the Seaway is being deployed for the nourishment of the channel bank needed to protect the coastline against natural erosion and rising sea levels.
This maiden project is part of a major contract recently awarded to Boskalis Nederland to protect this section of the Dutch coast.
In addition, the contract also includes beach nourishment on the Wadden Sea island of Texel and foreshore nourishment near the town of Julianadorp.
