OwnedEvery unit, with our own crews

Our dredgers were designed and equipped for Middle East conditions.

Their electrical cutter drive and the sturdy design of the cutter ladder, spud carrier and pontoon allow these dredgers to be used in sand and rock.

The latest three additions were also prepared for the region. They complement the others for dredging in soft and medium dense sand, and suit smaller scale, shallow requirements. Garhoud Bay and Deira Bay have been upgraded over the years, mechanically and electrically.

The cutter suction dredgers

Every unit is owned outright and operated by Gulf Cobla crews.

And the plant around them

Auxiliary marine equipment, survey launches and land-based plant, so the full dredging and reclamation package comes from one contractor.

Booster StationsA 2,500 hp booster set on 650 mm pipeline, dropped into the discharge run so spoil can be pumped further than a dredger will carry it alone.
Work boats & auxiliary vesselsMulticats, landing craft, split hopper barges, crane barges and work boats, owned and crewed by Gulf Cobla so the dredging spread stays self-supporting.
Tug BoatsTowage and general duties around the spread, including shifting pontoons, pipelines, and plant between working positions, as well as the mobilisation of dredgers through towage and other related activities.
Dredge PumpsA 600 hp DOP unit on 300 mm pipeline for loose sand and sediment, where a full cutter suction dredger is more plant than the work needs.
Survey VesselsShallow-draft launches carrying multibeam and single beam echosounders, running the RTK hydrographic surveys that prove the dredged result.
Transport BargesFlat-deck barges that carry pipeline, spares and plant out to the working spread, and hold it there when there is no quay to work off.
Land Based EquipmentThe plant that turns a discharged slurry into a finished level: LGP dozers, excavators, loaders, and the workshops, offices and generators that keep a site running.
