Excavator not to be repaired

04.06.2025
BREMERHAVEN. Following a major fire in the machine room of the Bremerhaven bucket chain excavator at the end of 2024, a decision in April meant that repair was not justified given the high costs and age of the ship. “Nothing else would’ve been economically viable, especially as the future concept of wet dredging approved by the Senate and Port Committee members for Bremen and Bremerhaven calls for a decommissioning of the working vessel,” says Henry Behrends, Head of Port Operations at bremenports. This will now take place about two years earlier than originally planned.
