Optimise your TSHD dredge cycle times
Reliable, stand-alone dredge monitoring system
The dredge monitoring system provides operators with a real-time overview of a Trailing Suction Hopper Dredger’s dredging process. The highly flexible system is customised according to the vessel’s operational profile. It supports the dredge control system and increases operational efficiency.
Reliable and fuel-efficient system
Hopper dredgers can be fitted out with the dredge monitoring system. It provides the dredge master with a clear overview of the location of the trailing pipe, the various stages of the hopper loading process, the dredge pump production, and a logging and reporting module. The system consists of separate modules, which can be added as required in line with the vessel’s operations.

Your partner in dredging
Dredging requires more than just shipping a dredge instrumentation package. It requires more gear such as a dredge pump to do the job, and it requires crew training and project management to bring the works to a successful conclusion. Damen can assist you during the full lifecycle of your dredger.
Dredge package
Dredging instrumentation can be supplied as a single item, or as a complete system or package. For a retrofit or newbuild, dedicated dredge monitoring equipment will assist you doing your dredge job in the most efficient way.
Getting started
As well as shipping the required dredge instrumentation to your yard, we can also send over our Field Service Engineer to assist the crew with installation and calibration. This will shorten the installation time, and give an opportunity for crew training.
Lifecycle support
For additions to your dredge systems, spares and repair requests our Service team is available 24/7.
