The visionary engineering projects of our clients can only be realised by the best people working with the latest technology. That is why Van Oord operates the world’s most advanced fleet and equipment, which encompasses 77 vessels and 61 of specialised dredging and offshore tools.
Investment in innovation and equipment is part of our long-term effort to offer our clients the best possible and most sustainable solutions to their problems. Our EUR 1 billion investment programme, which we launched in 2007, will run until the end of 2011. Our shipbuilding activities in China are of immense strategic importance in keeping the cost of our new vessels competitive.
Results of this sizeable investment programme consist of the extension of the HAM 318, making it the largest operational trailing suction hopper dredger in the world, the construction of the 31,000 m3 trailing suction hopper dredger Vox Maxima and two large backhoe dredgers Goliath and Simson. A new flexible fallpipe vessel with a loading capacity of 28,000 tonnes and one of the largest self-propelled cutter suction dredgers with a total installed power of 24,000 kW are examples of projects under construction.
