UPGRADATIONS AND CONVERSIONS

We provide equipment revamp to the existing vessel, addressing the capacity and performance enhancement. The up-gradation may be increment/ decrement in the dredging depth, modification to anchor boom, spud carrier, side discharge arm or automation in dredging. Our design package can accomplish these features with ease to the fabricators.
 
Vedam’s in-house CombiSnijder- Series is designed in such a manner that these up-gradation may be achieved with minimum modifications to the existing dredger constructed from our design.  
 
Vedam, with its experienced team of Naval Architects, Designers and Engineers have successfully executed Conversions & Retrofits projects for both CSD and TSHD.
 
The life cycle of these projects include –
 
Feasibility Study
 
Conversion Concept Design
 
Class Drawings
 
Equipment Procurement Engineering
 
Detail Drawings for Shipyard
 
Conversion Supervision & Site Team Management

CONVERSION STRATEGY FOR TSHD

As a first step identifying and picking a cargo vessel which serves as base ship shall be carried out. This handpicked vessel for conversion shall be in range of 10-15 years old.
 
Conversion design to the original design is carried out as per the owener’s requirement. This is then translated to production design suiting the needs of shipyard.
 
Vedam helps in selection of dredge equipment selection among the gamut of various equipment supplier from Europe, Asia and Africa.
 
We help selecting the shipyard on behalf of owner which can carry out fabrication with good Quality control process and having past experience of dredge projects.
