Different Types of Dredger Ships and Their Applications

As indicated in the introductory paragraph there are a number of dredger ships each specifically built for specific tasks Carrying out dredging operations is hard work since different equipment can be used for different dredging work. Cutter suction dredgers employ a rotating cutter to cut dense soil before it is suctioned, thus suitable in taking out hard materials. Trailing suction hopper dredgers transport collected unconsolidated sediment in hoppers in order to deposit them at disposal areas. Bucket dredgers operate by using a robotic arm hydraulic device that lifts up solids while grab dredgers use a grab bucket. There are different types and applications of dredgers due to different characteristics which exist in dredging activities and so it is important to choose one that will fit the strange circumstances in order that the piling work done will not be wasted.
