De Hoop chooses Damen Maaskant Shipyards Stellendam for maintenance and repair work on hopper dredger ‘Ruyter’
The Trailing Suction Hopper Dredger (TSHD), ‘Ruyter’, visited Damen Maaskant Shipyards Stellendam recently for a number of repairs. With the vessel in drydock, the client, De Hoop Terneuzen, took the opportunity to contract some ongoing maintenance tasks.
Dredger
Damen Maaskant Shipyards Stellendam carried out repairs to the 82-metre long vessel’s dredge pump and trailing pipe. The spud pole was also removed and repaired. While in drydock, the team at the yard also painted the hull above and below the waterline in addition to performing minor rudder repairs and anchor winch maintenance works.
The entire scope of the maintenance and repair contract was completed within one week – allowing the 1994-built ‘Ruyter’ to return to her primary job of North Sea sand winning activities for various Dutch, Belgian, French and UK customers.
A word from the client
“We have sent the ‘Ruyter’, as well as other vessels in our fleet, to Maaskant on previous occasions,” commented the owner of De Hoop Terneuzen. “We have always been happy with the quality of their work. With maintenance projects like this, the timescale is important for us – we want minimal downtime. This matter is always handled well by Damen.”
