Trailing hopper suction dredger Causeway photographed on the 25 October 2014 in the Solent just South of Fawley. I took the picture from the Red Funnel ferry as we headed to the Isle Of Wight.
Overall she is 92.1m long with a 19m beam and 6.82m draught and is powered by twin Caterpillar 3516 (9472kW) diesel engines giving a top speed of 11 knots.
Hold capacity is 4,500m3 of dredged material.
Her suction pipe has a diameter of 900mm and she can dredge up to 30m below sea level.
GT = 4,320 and DWT 5,950.
She is designed to operate up to 15 miles from shore or 20 miles from port or dredging over 15 miles from shore with a significant wave height of less than 2.5m.
The vessel is operated by Boskalis Westminster who commenced operations in 1933.
Since I saw her she has left the Solent area and at the time of writing is heading across the English Channel on her way to Calais.
