‘Giessenstroom’ – The Largest Shoalbuster Yet

01 Feb 2007

On 19 January Van Wijngaarden Marine Services BV of Sliedrecht in the Netherlands formally named ‘Giessenstroom’, the first new Damen Shoalbuster 3009 seagoing tug, at the Damen Shipyards Hardinxveld facility. The event marked yet another significant milestone in the development of what has become a remarkably successful and versatile design. Shoalbusters of all types have become an important tool for marine contractors specialising in support services for the dredging and marine civil engineering industries.
