HID Shipyard Successfully Delivers High-Performance 7000 m³/h Cutter Suction Dredger
Recently, a newly developed Cutter Suction Dredger with a water flow capacity of 7,000 m³/h, independently designed and manufactured by HID Shipyard, was successfully shipped and delivered to the client. The successful delivery marks another significant technological achievement in HID’s high-performance dredging equipment portfolio.
The dredger features a production capacity of 1,500 m³/h, a discharge distance of up to 5 kilometers, and a powerful 500 kW cutter head. Powered by a 3,600 HP diesel engine, the vessel provides strong, stable, and continuous operation even under demanding dredging conditions.
To meet the requirements of high flow rates and long-distance discharge, HID’s engineering team redesigned the dredge pump and optimized the pumping system with an upgraded flow channel and enhanced internal structure. These improvements enable the vessel to maintain both ultra-large water flow and long-distance pumping performance, significantly improving overall dredging efficiency and operational reliability.
As a high-performance Pumping Dredger, this vessel is particularly suitable for large reservoirs, lakes, rivers, and navigational channels. Its high-flow pumping system, powerful cutter head, and long-distance discharge capability make it an efficient solution for large-scale Dredging Project applications, including sediment removal, waterway maintenance, reservoir desilting, and environmental restoration.
The vessel also demonstrates HID’s capability in developing large-size dredge solutions tailored to demanding project requirements. From hydraulic system optimization and dredge pump development to structural design, equipment integration, and final commissioning, HID’s engineering and manufacturing teams work closely throughout the entire production process to ensure reliable performance.
The successful delivery once again demonstrates HID Shipyard’s strong R&D capabilities, advanced manufacturing standards, and commitment to providing high-performance dredging solutions for clients worldwide. With continued investment in technology and engineering innovation, HID will continue developing efficient and reliable dredging equipment for increasingly demanding dredging applications.
