With the large increase in shipping traffic and size of ships it has become necessary to deepen the navigation lanes in harbours and estuaries. To meet this, the dredging operations have also had to be greatly improved and modified. The advancement attained in the construction of non-stationary suction dredging equipment has made it possible to use this technique on a much wider scale, and so undertake programs which up to recently seemed almost impossible. The particular design of non-stationary suction dredges, as regards the number of suction tubes and their mode of operation, does not have a decisive influence on the overall performance of such equipment, since all such designs can be regarded as highly efficient. Hence it is very often regarded as advisable to reconstruct old type dredging equipment and adapt it to the new technique.
