Royal IHC yesterday held a keel-laying ceremony for the Easydredge 3.700m³ trailing suction hopper dredger (TSHD) that is being built for Tecnoimport and Empresa Constructora de Obras Maritimas from Havana, Cuba.
The new vessel is the largest in the series of standardized Easydredge® twin-screw TSHDs, designed and built by IHC.
