The boat is also prepared for the installation of various dredging techniques, such as the trailing suction pipe system. The total value of the order is approximately 15 million euros.

The boat we christened yesterday is a record-breaking boat that makes us extremely proud of the extraordinary collective effort that went into making it."

The aim is to at least partially relieve the customer of an investment that is not always sustainable for Italian operators in the offshore segment ».
