Vosta LMG signs contract for new cutter suction dredge

The Arab Potash Company, Jordan, has awarded Vosta LMG with a new contract for the delivery of a new cutter suction dredge.

The dredge will measure 75 metres by twelve metres, with a maximum dredging depth of six metres. The new CSD600 will have a total installed power of 3,34kW with a cutter power of 650kW and a pump power of 1,825kW. The dredge will be equipped with a Vosta SC25 cutting system and will be built in Malaysia and delivered in 2009. This is the second contract Vosta has received from Arab Potash, with the previously delivered cutter suction dredger also having the special design to excavate hard salt deposits in extremely corrosive and harsh climatic conditions where ambient site temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius are common. Vosta will train additional crew on site to operate the dredge at its specified performance when delivering the dredge, including floating pipeline.
