Spud system Athena

摘要

Vuyk Engineering Rotterdam (VER) has completed the final design for the spud system of the seagoing self-propelled cutter dredger Athena, built for Van Oord, dredging and marine contractors by IHC Dredgers. The cutter ladder, spuds, spud carrier and auxiliary spud system have been built by IHC Beaver Dredgers. In close cooperation with the builders, VER has also prepared all workshop drawings. All drawings were based on extensive FEM analyses, also prepared by VER. Vuyk Engineering Rotterdam is an experienced designer of spud systems, not just for cutter dredgers, but also for backhoe dredgers.
