De Hoop Terneuzen said that, in addition to ensuring smart power management, the use of electric propulsion increases propeller efficiency while dredging, navigating, manoeuvring, and unloading, hence optimising energy and fuel consumption as well as reducing emissions. Like its sister, it is designed for extracting sand and gravel aggregates at depths of up to 60 metres and is powered by diesel-electric propulsion. The newer TSHD is presently deployed on its initial project for a client in the North Sea.īuilt by Thecla Bodewes’ Barkmeijer Shipyards division to a design developed by local naval architecture firm Groot Ship Design, Krakesandt has a length of 105.9 metres, a beam of 15.85 metres, a draught of 6.94 metres, and accommodations for 14 crewmembers. Named after a 14th century sandbank off the coast of the Dutch town of Cadzand, Krakesandt is a sister vessel of Anchorage, which was handed over to the same customer in 2020. Netherlands-based marine projects company De Hoop Terneuzen has begun operating the second newbuild trailing suction hopper dredger (TSHD) in a series ordered from local shipbuilder Thecla Bodewes.
