A special farewell after 55 years of craftsmanship
After an incredible 55 years at Royal Van der Leun, Cor Usmany recently said an official farewell to his colleagues.
The dredger is built at St Johns Shipbuilding in Palatka, Florida and will be operating in Wilmington, North Carolina.
The vessel will perform maintenance in the main seaports of Wilmington and Morehead City for maintaining the depths at all berths, wharves and turning basins year- round, which will maximize the vessel tonnage capabilities at these ports.
The WID is designed to be low in maintenance and ease of operation per NCSPA requirements.
Van der Leun supplied the following features:
• System integration
• Main Switchboard
• Distribution board
• Variable frequency convertor
• Engineering and project management
• Shore supply
• Wheelhouse desk / ECR console
• Emergency Stop system
• Fire detection system
• Battery chargers incl. batteries and battery boxes
• Commissioning
• Installation

After months of intensive work, it is always a special moment to see a project at its final destination.
From 4 to 7 November, the maritime world will dock at Rotterdam Ahoy for Europort 2025, and we’d love to see you there at stand 1322.
