Jan De Nul Group’s brand-new water shot dredger Pancho was gone for the Neptune Marine shipyard near Dordrecht in theNetherlands The godmother of the vessel,Mrs Sabrina Fontana Unzueta, companion ofMr Pieter Jan De Nul, christened the vessel as well as wanted it all the best as well as an excellent trip.
The layout of this brand-new develop vessel is based upon an existing vessel layout from Neptune’s workboat profile. Together with the design division of Neptune, Jan De Nul incorporates its internal constructed dredging tools, consisting of the dredge pump as well as dig up pipelines, the winches, hydraulics as well as the needed tools for an adjusted pipe directing on the fore ship.
Jan Van de Velde, Head of the Newbuilding Department at Jan De Nul Group: “The experience with our existing fleet of water injection dredgers taught us that there was a need for a more compact vessel to reach the smaller corners in ports and rivers. However, despite her compact character, the Pancho has a depth range of more than 20 metres! Perfect for maintenance dredging. We are looking forward to the further completion of this new dredger together with the Neptune Marine Shipyard, with the intention of taking the Pancho into service in March 2022.”
Martijn Schouten, in charge of sales within Neptune Marine’s shipyard company: “We are proud to build for top player Jan De Nul, who is active all over the world. The knowledge and experience of the Newbuilding Department within Jan De Nul is impressive, and it was inspiring to come up with a dredger in a short time, based on an existing workboat design, that will distinguish itself in the market through its dredging performance and robustness. The construction has been efficient thanks to the excellent cooperation with and input from the Newbuilding Team of Jan De Nul, and we are looking forward to testing the vessel soon, so it can be put to work immediately afterwards.”
Meanwhile, Jan De Nul purchased a 2nd water shot dredger, with the exact same measurements as well as qualities, from the exact same shipyard.
The Pancho will certainly be utilized mostly in the Argentine digging up market, thus the Spanish name. Pancho is Spanish for the given name ‘Frans’, which is the label of Jan Frans, two-year old child of Pieter Jan De Nul as well asSabrina Fontana Unzueta With this, Jan De Nul proceeds the practice of calling the very first ships of a particular kind of digging up vessel after its relative.
Ideal digging up strategy for upkeep in ports
A water shot dredger is smaller sized than a tracking suction receptacle dredger as well as can as a result be far better released in ports as well as rivers where the workspace is commonly smaller sized. In water shot dredging, water is infused under reduced stress right into the subsoil, creating the dirt product to relocate.
This digging up strategy is particularly appropriate for upkeep dredging in locations where debris were lately transferred, or for relocating great sand over much shorter ranges.
Jan De Nul presently has 5 water shot digging up vessels in its fleet, consisting of the Pancho as well as an additional sis vessel unfinished at Neptune Marine in the Netherlands.
