CSD Helios

Vessel Name: Helios
Vessel Type: Cutter Suction Dredger
Yard: IHC Kinderdijk
Completion: 2017
Owner: Boskalis
Installer: IHC Drives and automation BV

 

The 152m long new megacutter Helios allows dredging to a maximum depth of 35 metres, but also to a minimum dredging depth of 6 metres. This makes the ship suitable for making landfalls for pipelines, among other things. Cutters with two different heights can be used, which are able to cut very hard ground.

For the penetrations, the Helios opted for RGS welding frames from MCT Brattberg. These frames are often used in shipbuilding and are available in many sizes and designs.

In addition to the transits from MCT Brattberg, TTT also supplied the complete lighting on board Glamox Aqua Signal, including series 65 LED navigation lighting.
