Modern dredgers in North-West German ports
Diesel electric twin screw trailing suction hopper dredgers, Johannes Gaehrs and Rudolf Schmidt, have been in operation for year; requirements were for working windforces up to 8 Beaufort and in high swells, and for good maneuverability; each has 2 lateral suction tubes; length oa is 113 m, beam 18 m, depth 8 m, draft loaded 5.90 m, capacity 4200 tons, dredging depth up to 21.5 m, speed 12 knots (modification possible to 14 knots).
