Finnish technology group, Wärtsilä, will provide the engines, propellers and control system for CEMEX UK’s new hopper dredger being built by Damen. Wärtsilä will prepare the engines ready for use with IMO Tier III compliant selective catalytic reduction technology to reduce emissions.

When delivered, Wärtsilä claims that the 103-metre long, 4,975 gross tonnage dredger will be one of the most environmentally sustainable ships of its type in operation.
