Pumping 6500+ cubic meters of slurry per hour Case story | VACON® 3000 Drive Kit MAGDALEN replenishes U.S. beaches with the power of VACON® 3000 MV drives Somewhere off the coast of New Jersey, the Weeks Marine dredge Magdalen removes thousands of tons of sand off the seafloor and loads it into her hopper. The vessel then navigates to a spot where the shoreline was eroded and discharges the sand there, reclaiming a beach that storms had washed away. Since Weeks Marine commissioned the trailing suction hopper dredge (TSHD) in December 2017, Magdalen has been on the job up and down U.S. coastal waters—from reclaiming beaches in New Jersey to removing silt in the Mississippi Delta. drives.danfoss.com
