The ‘Congo River’ is an innovative and multi-functional ship, very manoeuvrable because of its large width (38m) and short length (168m) and capable of deployment for many different purposes. Even fully loaded, the vessel will have a limited draught of only 12 m. This makes the ‘Congo River’ ideal for operations in ports, entrance and navigation channels, beach nourishment, all types of land reclamation, but also very suitable for long-distance transport. The ‘Congo River’ can, with its deep-suction installation, dredge down to depths of over 100 meters. Aside from the ‘Congo River’ and the ‘Victor Horta’, DEME currently has another six large ultramodern dredgers and marine vessels under construction.
