The IHC Beaver® dredger, IHC Merwede’s standard cutter dredger, is well known for its robust construction, reliable operation and excellent performance. IHC Merwede has already supplied over 700 of these efficient dredgers to customers around the world.

An optimal dredging operation not only requires a modern vessel, but also a dedicated and well trained crew with sufficient knowledge and skills to maximise the performance of an IHC Beaver® dredger.

Training dredging engineers improves the link between man and machine and increases the profitability of each operation. The Training Institute for Dredging (TID) offers a two-week training for owners of an IHC Beaver® dredger and their crew. The programme covers all aspects of the equipment, including maintenance and troubleshooting.
