Today, a dredging vessel named Engineer Soltan Kazimov, commissioned by the Baku International Sea Trade Port, was successfully launched into the water via a floating dock at the Baku Shipyard. The vessel’s design was developed by the experienced naval architects and engineers of Damen Shipyards Gorinchem B.V.
The construction phase of the vessel has been completed in its entirety. Remaining commissioning and sea trials are scheduled to be carried out at the outfitting quay of the Shipyard.
This marks the first instance in Azerbaijan where a dredging vessel of such specifications has been constructed domestically. The vessel measures 61.20 meters in overall length, with a hull length of 49.30 meters, a beam of 10.50 meters, a draft of 1.65 meters, and a maximum dredging depth of 18 meters.
It is anticipated that the vessel will be fully commissioned and officially delivered by May of the current calendar year.
