Truly Dutch: TSHD Anchorage delivered to De Hoop Terneuzen

The 3.200m³ trailing suction hopper dredger (TSHD) Anchorage was successfully delivered to the Zealand based company De Hoop Terneuzen earlier this month. The design and construction of the dredger, build number 347, was undertaken by Barkmeijer Shipyards in Stroobos, part of the Thecla Bodewes Shipyards Group.

Barkmeijer Shipyards and Thecla Bodewes Shipyards have over 300 years of shipbuilding experience between them. The success of this project has been possible due to the close cooperation between Barkmeijer and Thecla Bodewes Shipyards.

The four shipyards of the Thecla Bodewes Group complement each other, as a group can actually build all types of ships: from simple push boats to complicated and state of the art dredgers such as the Anchorage.
