The new giant TSHD is currently undergoing final outfitting and testing at\u00a0Royal IHC\u00a0in Krimpen aan den IJssel in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n
According to Liebherr, the crane is the third identical unit delivered for the company\u2019s latest generation of dredging vessels.<\/p>\n
Before transport to the Netherlands, the fully assembled crane and gantry structure were loaded in Rostock, Germany, using the land based\u00a0Liebherr TCC 78000\u00a0heavy lift crane.<\/p>\n
With a lifting capacity of 1,600 tons, the TCC 78000 positioned the crane system onto the transport vessel MV Aura for shipment to the shipyard.<\/p>\n
\nThe largest newbuild in Boskalis\u2019 history\n<\/p>\n
The new dredger was launched at the Royal IHC yard in October 2025.<\/p>\n
Designed with a 31,000 cubic meter hopper, an optimized hull and advanced automation, it will enter service in mid-2026 to deliver efficient maneuverability and environmental performance for large scale dredging projects.\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to Boskalis, the dual-fuel main engines are equipped with two stage turbochargers and can be powered by both conventional fuels and more sustainable alternatives such as biodiesel and methanol, resulting in a significant reduction in CO2 emissions.<\/p>\n
The TSHD is equipped with two suction pipes with a submersible pump and two delivery pumps with a combined delivery capacity of 15,000 kW. This enables the vessel to dredge sand and pump it over long distances to a reclamation area.<\/p>\n
The new dredger will be more than just a vessel; it is the largest newbuild in the Boskalis\u2019 history, and above all, the largest trailing suction hopper dredger (TSHD) ever built at a Dutch shipyard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liebherr\u00a0has delivered a gantry mounted LS C 80 cylinder luffing crane for installation on Boskalis\u2019 new trailing suction…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":528452,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[214667,4,450,233029,451,237611,3,237612,237613,452,453,214669],"class_list":["post-528451","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-breaking-news","tag-boskalis","tag-breaking-news","tag-breakingnews","tag-dredge-equipment","tag-headlines","tag-liebherr","tag-news","tag-royal-ihc","tag-seaway","tag-top-stories","tag-topstories","tag-tshd"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/528451","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=528451"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/528451\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/528452"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=528451"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=528451"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=528451"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
