DREDGING Rule 3 § (g) (ii)
Dredging is an excavation activity or operation usually carried out at least partly
underwater, in shallow seas or fresh water areas with the purpose of gathering up
bottom sediments and disposing of them at a different location (www.wilkipedia.org)
The main types of dredgers are:
• Bucket dredgers
• Trailing suction hopper dredgers
• Cutter suction hopper dredgers
• Split hopper dredgers
• Backhoe dredgers
• Stone dumping and Fallpipe vessels
• Floating cranes
54
• Reclamation dredgers

Bucket Dredger
Bucket dredgers raise bottom sediments to the surface. The buckets are
attached to a chain and graded according to size (200 to 1,000 litres). Bucket
dredgers are held in place by anchors. These days, this classic vessel is
mainly used on environmental dredging projects. (www.boskalis.com/ 57

Trailing Suction Hopper Dredger Rule 3 § (g) (ii)
A hopper dredger is a self propelled ship which fills its hold or hopper during
dredging, while following a pre-set track. The hopper can be emptied by bottom
doors or valves (dumping) or by pumping its load ashore. This kind of dredger is
mainly used in open water: rivers, canals, estuaries and the open sea.
