Moreover modifications can be done during the replacement of the old equipment like the pump for example without any additional expenses.

,,Modifying or converting old vessels will always be considered the most convenient alternative due to the cost cuts, less time involved in the makeover of an old ship than building a new one and the possibility of customizing the vessel according to the customers’ needs.” added Iulia Berchiu, Marketing Manager of Dredge Yard.
