EURO-DREDGER, a first class Cutter Suction Dredger

The dis-mountable EURO DREDGER 450 is one of the Dredge Yard - Neptune Shipyards first projects that started in March 2015 with detailed engineering and planned to be ready for delivery in the 4th quarter of 2015.

Does the EURO-DREDGER make any difference?
