Above you will find every dredger for sale in our current listings, from compact modular dredgers that travel by road to sea-going hopper dredgers. Each listing shows the main particulars; full specifications are available on request. Please contact us with the folio number. Many dredgers are sold before they are published, so if you do not see the dredger you need, send us your requirements and we will approach owners directly.
The right dredger depends on the soil, the water depth, the distance to the disposal or reclamation area and how the dredger has to reach the site.
Most dredging projects also need support equipment: split hopper barges, booster stations, multicats and pontoons.
There is no list price for a used dredger. The price depends mainly on:
Please contact us for a realistic market price for a specific dredger, or read more about our dredger valuation services.
We guide the purchase from first enquiry to delivery: we check specifications, class status and documents, coordinate inspections, negotiate the terms and prepare the Memorandum of Agreement and closing documents. Read more about our brokerage services.

That depends on type, size, age, class and what is included in the sale. A small modular cutter dredger and a sea-going hopper dredger are in completely different price ranges. Send us your requirements and we will send you suitable dredgers with full specifications, or ask for a valuation of a specific vessel.
A cutter suction dredger is stationary on spuds and pumps the material through a pipeline, which suits reclamation and hard soils. A trailing suction hopper dredger sails while dredging, stores the material on board and transports it itself, which suits channels and long distances to the disposal area.
Yes. Sea-going dredgers sail on their own; modular dredgers are dismantled and shipped or transported by road; other units are carried as deck cargo or towed. We can advise on the delivery route.
Send us the main particulars, class status and recent photos via List your vessel, or contact us directly. We advise on a realistic asking price and present the dredger discreetly to buyers worldwide.
