At Nautilus Dragados we continue to realize a vision that began more than five years ago: to develop a technology capable of transforming the way dredging and environmental restoration work is carried out worldwide.

Today we can announce with enormous satisfaction that the world’s largest amphibious dredger is now at our facilities in Malaga, where it will continue its final preparation and commissioning phase before beginning its first operations.

It’s not just a large machine. It’s a dredger that is unique in the world for its technical characteristics, its work capacity, and the innovative solutions it incorporates, developed specifically to meet the current challenges of sustainable dredging.

Designed to operate in ports, beaches, rivers, reservoirs, lagoons and hard-to-reach areas, this new generation of machinery will allow for maintenance work on drafts, removal of sludge and sediments, environmental recovery and regeneration of aquatic ecosystems with a level of precision and efficiency never before seen.

Its enormous pumping capacity, the ability to transport sediments several kilometers away, its low environmental impact working system and its amphibious design make this machine an international benchmark in the sector.

This project represents years of research, engineering, development, and testing in collaboration with our industrial partners. This effort positions Nautilus Dragados among the world’s most innovative companies in the field of dredging and environmental restoration.

From our facilities in Malaga, a new stage will begin for this extraordinary machine, which will soon start operating in different national and international projects.

At Nautilus Dragados we believe that the future of dredging lies in innovation, sustainability and the ability to offer solutions where they previously seemed impossible.

And that future… is already here.
