The diagram illustrates the process of how mud is removed from the bottom of canals with the dredgers.
Overall, there are only five stages in the process.
In the initial steps, a canal dredger carries a suction pump with rotating blades, which is grounded into the canal by two hydraulic arms. Afterwards, they move around, stir mud up, usually called slurry, and a large tube, which is connected to a shuttle boat, sucks it up. When it’s filled with the carried mud, the boat is towed out of the city to be dumped.
A coastal dredger is almost three times as big as a canal one. Littoral dredgers are used to suck up mud from a depth of 35 meters, while canal dredgers are made for much more petite waters. Moreover, a coastal boat, designed for dredging is almost two times narrower in comparison to a canal dredger, with 6. 69 and 14 meters of hull breadth respectively.
To conclude, it is clear that each dredger is specifically designed for the surroundings where they will operate.
