PHOTO: Hopper dredger Diogo Cão in Singapore January 21, 2021, by Zlatan Hrvacevic
Dredging is more than dredging, it’s also about sailing the seven seas and discovering the world seen from the water, Jan De Nul Group said in their recent post.
Having this in mind, the company has just released a beautiful photo of their Ultra-Low Emission vessel Diogo Cão in Singapore. What a view!
The 3,500m³ hopper dredger Diogo Cão was built in 2018 at the Keppel Nantong shipyard in China, a subsidiary of Keppel Offshore & Marine.
The design of the Diogo Cão is based on the successfully operating 3,400m³ TSHD Alvar Nuñez Cabeça de Vaca and Sebastiano Caboto, built in 2011. The vessels combine a shallow draught with high manoeuvrability, making them very suitable for working in confined areas.
