  • Dredger positionning on shallow waters and high stream areas,
  • Moving the dredger piping,
  • Maintenance works and equipments transport,
  • Pushing barges up to 330 tons.

This vessel is optimized and designed for a navigation on the Rhone river on shallow waters and high stream areas.
She is designed for easy use by two crew members.This new dredging set will be in operation at least for the next thirty years.
