Van Oord Dredging and Marine Contractors

Our technology

Our hightech equipment

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.

To retain this leading position, Van Oord is investing EUR 1 billion in its fleet and equipment over the next years.

This sizeable investment programme consists of the extension of the HAM 318, making it the largest operational trailing suction hopper dredger in the world, the construction of a 31,000 m3 trailing suction hopper dredger Vox Maxima, a new flexible fallpipe vessel with a loading capacity of 28,000 tonnes, two large backhoe dredgers (type Backactor 1100) and one of the largest self-propelled cutter suction dredgers with a total installed power of 24,000 kW.
