DEME orders next-generation trailing suction hopper dredger
1 July 2026
DEME is further reinforcing its dredging fleet with the construction of a new 22,000 m³ trailing suction hopper dredger (TSHD), which will strengthen its long-term competitiveness in capital and maintenance dredging, land reclamation, and offshore seabed preparation. Designed to deliver a step-change in productivity, the new vessel will combine a structurally lower cost per dredged cubic meter and reduced greenhouse gas intensity compared to existing vessels in this segment. With this substantial investment, DEME is continuing to future-proof its fleet and respond to the growing demand for efficiency, sustainability, and technological innovation across its global dredging activities.
