SCA Split Barge 46 refitted with Hydromaster Propulsion Units

Split Hopper Barge 46, owned and operated by the Dredging Department of the Suez Canal Authorities (SCA), has been refitted with two Hydromaster Series 5 Deck Mounted Propulsion Units.

Recently commissioned, this is another example of one of the many successful projects by Hydromaster and the SCA.

The Hydromaster propulsion units power by Cummins QSK19 diesel engines rated at 492 kW. They power the barge to reach a speed of 9.5 knots.

Future-oriented and growth ambitions

Hydromaster has evolved and grown significantly over the years. Since 2015, we have operated under Dutch ownership. We’ve expanded our product range – adapting to changing needs such as hybrid and all-electric applications – modernized production, and evolved into a trusted propulsion partner for vessels owners across the globe.

As part of our international growth strategy, we established a local presence in Singapore in 2019 and recently in North America. With a growing presence and partner network across Europe, North America, and Asia, we continue to invest in the future of smart, reliable marine propulsion – built on expertise and always with a personal touch.
