Vessels Dredge Built to Withstand Siberian Weather A Russian customer placed an order for a CSD350 Cutter Suction Dredge with VOSTA LMG. This cutter suction dredge will be one with special require- ments, as it is due to operate in Siberia with weather conditions up to minus 40 degrees C. The Russian contractor plans to use the dredge to construct sand roads on the northern tundra's to make the oil and gas fields accessible during the sum- mer period when they are swampy after being frozen in the winter. The dredge is of the dismountable and easy transportable type so it can trans- port to the tundra's before summer. After the summer, when the temperature starts to decrease, the dredge can be dismount- ed and stored. Circle 4 on Reader Service Card Main Particulars - Vosta LMG CSD350 Length, (o.a.) 82 ft.
