Damen launches zero-emission dredging solution

Damen Shipbuilding Group has launched a variant of its established Cutter Suction Dredger (CSD) 650, replacing dredge and hydro pumps with WEG electric motors. The new Electric Cutter Suction Dredger (ECSD) 650 makes zero emissions dredging projects possible, where shore power connections are supplied by a renewable source.

The dredge pump in Damen's new ECSD 650 design is powered by a 1,825 kW WEG electric motor.
