Newbuild & Conversion Support

Independent advice & supervision for dredging projects

When it comes to building or modifying a trailing suction hopper dredger (TSHD), getting it right from day one is critical. Design choices, supplier selection, and build quality will affect operational efficiency, crew workload and lifetime cost.

At All4dredging, we don’t just repair dredgers, we understand how they’re built and how they work under real conditions. That’s why clients also rely on us to advise on newbuilds, conversions and major refits both technically and practically.

Dry-dock & repair

Repair supervision/guidance

If it is either a small repair, (de-)mobilization or a complete dry-docking, we can be of assistance for supervision and/or guidance during the complete project including finding a suitable yard or repair location. If this is not enough, we can even take the whole project completely out of your hands and coordinate it from A to Z. This is possible due to our wide range of experience and close cooperation with direct partners.

  • Training/advisory during repairs

Specification and planning

We have the knowledge to perform inhouse estimation, prepare offers, review and/or adjust repair specifications and to prepare complete repair planning. Our key approach is that we like to discuss the planning up front with all parties involved before the works commence. This to ensure an optimal planning and minimize delays for everyone involved.
