Source basis

Royal IHC's official profile traces its water and dredging heritage to 1642 and describes the business as a producer of specialist vessels, equipment, and full-lifecycle services. Its dredging pages cover hydraulic dredgers, integrated equipment packages, pumps, cutter heads, drag heads, control systems, and wear-resistant systems. The October 2025 SEAWAY release confirms Royal IHC's current custom-build role, the vessel's launch, and the remaining outfitting and testing chain; Boskalis still described construction as ongoing in March 2026. The March 2026 CVM contract separately confirms a customised Easydredge 2700XL route with construction at Nam Trieu in Vietnam and a first-year service, crewing, and training package. Both vessel records remain at their evidenced delivery gates; future handover and operating outcomes are not complete.
