Size Matters

An inch of water. It doesn’t sound like much. But having that extra space to pass through can allow a ship to carry an additional 50,000 pairs of shoes, 160,000 kilos of wheat or 10,000 laptop computers.







ISANDIWANA - DREDGER - EVERY INCH MATTERS

Richards Bay is Africa’s second largest industrial port. This is where the 6000-ton heavy dredger Isandlwana and her crew operate. Dredging is a vital part of the increase in port traffic thanks to the booming economy like the one in southern Africa. The dredge master aboard the Isandlwana is also the first female dredge master which makes her the first in the world.
