Cochin shipyard to build India’s biggest dredger

Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL) signed an agreement with Dredging Corporation of India (DCI) on Thursday to build India’s largest dredger, in collaboration with IHC Holland.

The contract for the project, which is a major step under the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative, was signed by CSL chairman and managing director Madhu S. Nair and DCI managing director in the presence of Sarbananada Sonowal, Union Minister for Ports, Shipping and Waterways, and Marten van-den Berg, the Ambassador of the Netherlands in India.

The contract for the construction of the 12,000-cubic-metre Trailing Suction Hopper Dredger (TSHD) is a culmination of efforts by the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways to bring in ‘best-in-class’ global technology into India under the Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative.
