Cherry Sand
Cherry Sand dredging the outer harbour at Lowestoft. When I first got there it was shrouded in sea mist, probably no more than a 100 metres away, but 10 minutes later the sun broke through and all was clear.
A self-propelled grab hopper dredger, Cherry Sand has been modernised with a Pulleman grab crane and equipped with a range of buckets to enable dredging in a wide variety of materials. The hopper well is fitted with a grid to avoid debris being deposited at sea, and discharges via hydraulically operated bottom doors.
