Maintenance dredging

Sedimentation reduces the depth of port basins, jetty berths and shipping channels until vessels can no longer berth or pass safely. We restore that depth by grab dredging: a crane barge is positioned at the work area, its grab removes material from the seabed, and the material is loaded directly into a hopper barge moored alongside.

Our crane barges have 26–35 m booms and grab options from 4.5 to 12 m³, including heavy-duty and orange-peel grabs for heavier material.

Equipment

Crane barge
4 units · 26–35 m boom
Grab
4.5–12 m³ · heavy duty · orange peel
Hopper barge
2 units · 3,200 m³

Sites we have worked on: shipping channels (West Kalimantan, Bangka Belitung, Central Java), port basins and container terminals (North Jakarta, Medan, Pontianak), and industrial and energy jetties (East Kalimantan, Riau, Batam, South Sumatra).

Dredged material transport

Dredged material is carried in 3,200 m³ hopper barges, pushed by pusher boats or towed by tug boats (6–9 knots), to the disposal site designated for the project: either disposal at sea or an onshore reclamation site.

Equipment

Hopper barge
2 units · 3,200 m³ each
Pusher boat
3 units · 7–9 knots
Tug boat
3 units · 6–9 knots

Lifting

The same crane barges carry out lifting work over water, including installation of structures for jetty construction. Hooks are available in 100 t and 250 t capacities, and a 25 t chisel is available as supporting equipment.

Lifting capacity depends on the crane barge configuration and working radius, and is discussed per project.

Tug assist

Our tug boats and pusher boats assist vessels with berthing, unberthing and manoeuvring in port waters, including barge handling at the work site. The same fleet supports our own dredging and lifting operations. Recent tug assist work includes a port in Bali (2025).

Equipment

Tug boat
3 units · 6–9 knots
Pusher boat
3 units · 7–9 knots

Coal transshipment

Two crane barges can work in tandem to transfer coal at anchorage, for example from barge to vessel. Transshipment uses the same crane barges and grabs as our dredging work. Example: coal transshipment with two crane barges in Kalimantan (2025).

Equipment

Crane barge
2 units working in tandem
Grab
4.5–12 m³
