Fregate at work on the Mahury River - 2020

Enjoy the beautiful video, taken by one of our crew members of the Fregate, to show how proud they are of their ship.
The Fregate is working for the twelve-year contract "Maintenance dredging at the ports of Cayenne and Kourou in French Guiana" that the consortium Boer Remorquage SARL, a joint venture involving Dutch Dredging and Iskes Towage & Salvage, which was signed in 2016 with the Grand Port Maritime de Guyane.
Tugboat “Fregate” has been fitted out with a Water Injection Dredging system (WID). Next to the normal vessel handling port duties as a tug, the “Fregate” has been designed to dredge. Over the full width of the tug, a beam has been placed. The beam has been fitted out with both jet water as well as air nozzles; the water and air is injected in the silt layers that have built up in the harbour over time. When the beam passes, the sediment whirls up and is taken away by the current and tide. This makes the tug an efficient tool in the harbour of Cayenne.
Nander Kleen, thank you very much for making this beautiful video.
