The semi-submersible heavy transport vessel Seaway Eagle has arrived at Bonny, Nigeria, carrying the cutter suction dredger Tian Qi Hao from Algeria. The transport followed a float-on operation at Port Annaba on 10 March 2026.

Tian Qi Hao was launched in 2009 together with its sister dredger Tian Lin Hao. At the time, the two vessels were described as Asia’s largest stationary cutter suction dredgers. Tian Qi Hao was developed by the Marine Design & Research Institute of Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
