To be developed under Atma Nirbhar Bharat Scheme, this will be the first Beagle Series 12 TSHD with 12,000 hopper capacity, to be delivered by September 2025, shared Sarbananda Sonowal, Minister of Ports, Shipping and Waterways.
The dredger, based on globally acclaimed Beagle Platform of Royal IHC, will be customised to meet all Indian dredging requirements be it for ports or inland waterways.
At the moment, DCI’s dredging fleet involves ten trailer suction hopper dredgers of 59,513 cubic meter cumulative hopper capacity, two cutter suction dredgers, one backhoe dredger and other ancillary crafts.
