VOSTA LMG receives an order for a CSD750

      
        VOSTA LMG's T2 cutter teeth
 

VOSTA LMG has been awarded a contract for a cutter suction dredger CSD750 by INTERNATIONAL SEAPORT DREDGING LTD., a joint venture company of the Belgian dredging major Dredging International (member of the DEME group) and the Indian construction giant Larsen & Toubro.
The dredger will be used for dredging projects throughout India due to the growing demand from the Indian market for dredging operations.

The mono hull cutter suction dredger design and characteristics has been defined in close co-operation with the client and can be operated in shallow waters.
It will be equipped with a VOSTA LMG underwater dredger pump and inboard pump both type VL750, a hydraulically driven VOSTA T2 cutter head and a VOSTA LMG wire system spud carrier.
Unique for the Indian cutter suction fleet is that the main power is generated by SKL diesel engines, which can run on HFO for a better economic efficiency.

The dredger will be equipped with the latest VOSTA LMG cutting and pumping technology.
The cutter ladder will be fitted with the VOSTA LMG patented T2 designed teeth which are based on the already existing VOSTA LMG T4 and T6 designs, but recently specifically developed for smaller cutter dredgers.
