Van Oord’s new cutter suction dredger Artemis first to dredge at port of La Rochelle
Van Oord’s newest addition to its fleet – the self-propelled cutter suction dredger Artemis – was moored in Rotterdam until 14 April 2013. Business relations and employees had the opportunity to visit Artemis before it departed for western France for its first assignment, said in the company's press release. Pursuant to a contract with the Grand Port Maritime de la Rochelle, Artemis will be deepening the harbour basin and dredging a trench in the access channel to the harbour. Approximately 500,000 cubic metres of very hard rock and clay will be dredged, and Artemis was built especially for dredging work on hard ground.
