Baku Shipyard Collaborates with Damen for Landmark Dredger Construction

provided by Damen Shipyards Group . Damen also supplied a comprehensive materials package, which included major components such as the dredge pump and operating cabin. The shipment required 11 trailers and two 40-foot containers for delivery. The CSD 650 is engineered for stationary dredging at depths ranging from -3m to -18m. With a cutter power of 700 kW, a dredge pump power of 1,825 kW, and a 63m swing width, the dredger is equipped for efficient operations. Its deployment is critical as the Caspian Sea's water level has dropped significantly over the past five years, exacerbated by port expansions, making dredging essential to accommodate increasing maritime traffic. Strategically located, the Port of Baku connects China to the Black Sea and Mediterranean and extends south to the Persian Gulf, solidifying its role as a regional logistics hub.
