Damen Shipyards Cape Town (DSCT) will soon bring its first cutter section dredger to South Africa.

The shipbuilder said it has signed a contract with Dredging Africa for delivery of a CSD 250. Financial details were not disclosed.

The vessel, on hand due to Damen's series-building policy, will be brought to the inland dredging company in March.

Dredging Africa plans to use the dredger on multiple contracts in South Africa and Southern Africa.
