G. CAMBRE
G Cambre is a compact steel tender built to support inland dredging operations in shallow, low-draft waterways. Its small footprint allows it to work efficiently where larger vessels cannot, while remaining easy to transport by truck to projects across the country. The vessel can also be equipped with a front-mounted A-frame crane, making it a versatile platform for dredging support, material handling, and a variety of marine construction tasks.
