Maritime Activity Reports, Inc.

October 6, 2014

VOSTA LMG and Karnafuly Shipyard have jointly delivered a total of ten cutter-suction dredgers consisting of:

6 x CSD 450 for the Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Authority

4 x CSD 500 for the Bangladesh Water Development Board. 

The dredgers were built at the Karnafuly Chittagong Shipyard, where they have been commissioned by a joint specialist team with employees from both VOSTA LMG and Karnafuly. With this delivery included, VOSTA LMG and Karnafuly have delivered a total of fifteen cutter-suction dredgers, which are employed to keep the Bangladesh waterway system navigable. 

VOSTA LMG has been responsible for providing engineering services, dredging equipment and supervision during the construction of the CSD’s. VOSTA LMG’s expertise – acquired over more than a century – and the workmanship of the Karnafuly Shipyard made it possible to construct the dredgers onsite and turned the project into a success. 

With the advent of fuel transition, digitalization, AI and autonomy, innovation in vessel design and operation proceeds at unprecedented speed.
