The 8000m³ vessels are a part of standardised IHC Beagle series, designed and manufactured by IHC replicating their dredging experience.
The vessels are equipped with IHC’s Trailspeed Controller (TSC) and Eco Pump Controller (EPC).
The TSC is said to ensure a consistency of speed while resulting to a higher volume of production and the ESC will reduce the chances of cavitation, as well as wear and tear while curbing the consumption of fuel.
The design allows the vessel to be deployed either during construction or at a later stage attuned to its specific needs.
