VOSTA LMG has been awarded a contract for a cutter suction dredge CSD750 by International Seaport Dredging Ltd. a joint venture company of the Belgian Dredging International (member of the DEME group) and the Indian construction group Larsen & Toubro. The dredge will be used for projects throughout India.

The mono hull cutter suction dredge was designed in co-operation with the client for operation in shallow waters.
