The Seaway is employed on channel embankment nourishment off Den Helder, using its rainbow discharge technique for the first time. The work forms part of a recently awarded Rijkswaterstaat coastal protection contract held by Boskalis Nederland, which also covers beach nourishment on Texel and foreshore nourishment near Julianadorp. Other Boskalis trailing suction hopper dredgers will join the works in coming years.
This is the first operational assignment confirmed for the vessel, which was delivered in July 2026.
