Trailing Pipe System 600 for "Jean Ango"

The ‘Jean Ango’ is equipped with a 600 mm Damen trailing pipe for working at a maximum dredging depth of 26 metres. Two identical inboard Damen dredge pumps, type BP6055MD, ensure efficient hopper loading and discharging. The TSHD has been fitted out with customised side coupling and bow coupling units. Furthermore, Damen delivered the dredge valves, overflow, bottom dump valves, and a degassing system – indispensable for the maintenance duties of the dredger. The vessel was built by Astilleros de Murueta and delivered to Dragages Ports in May 2013.
