Booster Station 500 "Booster"

Damen delivered a BS500 booster station to Russia in August 2013. The booster was fitted out with an identical dredge pump and Caterpillar diesel engine to those found on the CSD500 in order to simplify spares procurement and storage and maintenance duties. Its function is to provide supplementary power along an extended discharge pipe coming from a stationary dredger. The booster has been positioned on a pontoon in an inland lake.
