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

Made with craftsmanship, for maximum performance at sea! These two custom-made seawater inlet filters (DN800) are key components of the cooling water systems of a large hopper dredger.
This aluminum construction could easily fit in a modern museum, don't you think?
