More Izar Sestao Newbuild for Jan de Nul
01 Jun 2003
Spain's Izar Sestao Shipyard launched the second of twin 11,300m 3trailing suction hopper dredgers last month for Belgian dredging giant Jande Nul . The launch ceremony for the Francis Beaufort wasfollowed by a naming ceremony for the Filippo Brunelleschi , which was launched two months earlier.
The twin 138.94m vessels are scheduled for delivery in September and November, when they will proceed to southeast Asia to participate in massive land reclamation works underway. The vessels are each powered by two MAN B&W 5,760kW engines manufactured by IZAR's Cartagena diesel engine factory.
The newest vessels follow Jan de Nul's recent Spanish built 16,000m 3capacity twin trailers Juan Sebastian de Elcano and Kaishuu into service, further extending the massive investment in additional capacity the Aalst based contractor has made in recent years.
