Vessels such as cutter suction dredgers are extremely weather-sensitive. Therefore, they must maintain their exact position at all times. The Willem van Rubroeck makes it easier to deal with unexpected sea conditions that can disturb the entire planning of a project and impact the budget. By making some unique adjustments, our technical department ensured that more movements on the vessel’s structure are allowed and vibrations are absorbed.
