Artemis Vessel Reviews and Specifications

Van Oord proudly introduces its latest fleet member, the state-of-the-art cutter suction dredger, Artemis. After mooring in Rotterdam until April 14, 2013, the vessel is set to embark on its inaugural mission at the Grand Port Maritime de la Rochelle in western France. Ahead of its departure, business partners and personnel were afforded an exclusive opportunity to tour Artemis, showcasing its cutting-edge capabilities. Under a newly secured contract, the dredger will undertake substantial dredging works aimed at deepening the harbour basin and excavating a trench in the access channel. The ambitious project involves the removal of approximately 500,000 cubic metres of extremely hard rock and clay, a task for which Artemis was uniquely engineered. This milestone marks a significant advancement in Van Oord's commitment to enhancing maritime infrastructure.
