Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of Hegemann-I

On the evening of July 1, 2018, the dredger 'Hegemann 1' encountered significant damage in the waters west of Borkum Island, specifically near the Horsborn Plate. Following the incident, the vessel was directed to dock at the Port of Emden for a thorough damage assessment. Divers were brought in to inspect the underwater hull, where they discovered considerable impairments. As a result, the dredger was taken to Emder Yard EWD on July 3 for necessary repairs. Concurrently, local authorities began investigating a reported water pollution incident that occurred on the same day, suspected to be connected to the 'Hegemann 1' accident. Finally, the vessel completed its repairs and departed the yard on July 17 at 1:20 p.m., resuming its dredging operations in the Ems river shortly thereafter.
