The partnership combines Royal IHC’s extensive dredging expertise with Nauplius Workboats’ proven experience in designing and building workboats for the maritime industry.
Designed for shallow inland waters, the multi-purpose workboats will support a wide range of dredging activities, including pushing and towing, buoy and anchor handling, and the transport of fuel, goods, and personnel.
“We are pleased to be working with Royal IHC to develop a new series of workboats, offering a range of support vessels designed with the highest quality standards,” said Gerrit Knol, Technical Director at Nauplius Workboats.
Peter Bronsveld, Director Standard Modular Vessels at IHC Dredging, added: “By extending our partnership with Nauplius Workboats, we can better meet our customers’ needs with multi-purpose workboats that help optimize dredging operations worldwide.”
Together, Royal IHC and Nauplius Workboats aim to give vessel owners and operators the performance, flexibility, and reliability needed for more efficient dredging operations.
