The machine arrives as a complete unit at the site on a truck or cruises there by itself on water. After arriving at the site on a trailer there is no need for costly crane assistance, because the machine simply "walks" in and out of the water without any outside assistance. The technologies which use several "one-purpose" machines need costly preparation work, like loading and unloading assistance and mounting and dismounting. They also need extra personnel to do this work and each one-purpose machine needs an operator.
The dredger moves independently in water with its own propulsion system and excavator assembly. The multipurpose Watermaster dredger is immediately ready to start working after arriving at the site without costly down times. It anchors with its own spuds and does not need steel cables for dredging which may disturb passing water traffic.
