HID Shipyard Resumes Operations with Successful Launch of a New Bucket Wheel Dredger
As the holiday season concludes, HID Shipyard has officially resumed full operations with exciting momentum. Marking a strong start to the new working year, a brand-new bucket wheel dredger has successfully completed its launching and water testing.
The newly built dredger was smoothly lowered into the water under clear skies, beginning its commissioning phase immediately after the holiday break. The vessel demonstrates HID’s advanced engineering capabilities, featuring a robust bucket wheel system designed for efficient excavation in challenging soil conditions. During the initial water test, all key systems operated steadily, confirming the vessel’s stability, maneuverability, and structural reliability.
The bucket wheel dredger is specially engineered for high-efficiency sand and soil excavation in ports, rivers, and coastal infrastructure projects. Its optimized cutter structure, reinforced hull design, and precision hydraulic control system ensure powerful performance and long-term durability — hallmarks of HID quality manufacturing.
The successful launch not only symbolizes a productive return to work but also reflects HID’s commitment to delivering projects on schedule and exceeding client expectations. Production lines are now running at full capacity, with multiple dredgers under construction as the team moves confidently into 2026.
A new year begins with action, achievement, and ambition.
HID Shipyard continues to move forward — building stronger, smarter, and more reliable dredging solutions for global partners.
