Royal IHC has announced that its portfolio of standard Cutter Suction Dredgers (CSDs) is expanding with electrical counterparts for each of the Beaver types. The Beaver E will be available from stock soon, according to the company's release.
The Beaver E is a fully electrically powered version of the standard Beaver. In addition to the unique features of Royal IHC's conventional CSDs, the Beaver E offers a number of added benefits in terms of sustainability, efficiency and reliability. With zero emissions plus limited noise and vibration disturbance, the Beaver E fully complies with the latest environmental regulations and is suitable to work in the most sensitive environments.
Furthermore, the Beaver E is more energy efficient and the electrical components require low maintenance. With an identical dredging and hydraulic installation, the diesel-powered main ponton can just be exchanged for an electrical one. All current standard Beavers types are available in an electrical version and are suitable for every common dredging project.
