Pancho | Neptune Marine launches new water injection dredger 

Model maker: info@3dmodelstudio.net

Model scale 1:50 

Neptune's new build vessel, Pancho. Including the dredge pump and dredges pipes, the winches, hydraulics and the necessary equipment for an adapted pipeline routing on the fore ship.

Jan Van de Velde, Head of the Newbuilding Department at Jan De Nul Group: “The experience with our existing fleet of water injection dredgers taught us that there was a need for a more compact vessel to reach the smaller corners in ports and rivers. However, despite her compact character, the Pancho has a depth range of more than 20 metres! Perfect for maintenance dredging. We are looking forward to the further completion of this new dredger together with the Neptune Marine Shipyard, with the intention of taking the Pancho into service in March 2022.”

The Pancho will be used mainly in the Argentine dredging market, hence the Spanish name. Pancho is Spanish for the first name ‘Frans’, which is the nickname of Jan Frans, two-year old son of Pieter Jan De Nul and Sabrina Fontana Unzueta. With this, Jan De Nul continues the tradition of naming the first ships of a certain type of dredging vessel after its family members.
