Scope

GB/T 17383-2025 is the English-translated version of 船舶与海上技术 挖泥船 分类.

GB/T 17383-2025 defines the classification of the various types of dredger designed for loosening, excavating, transporting and disposing of dredged material, and that single sentence is the whole of clause 1 as the automatic draft prints it.

Clause 2 carries one entry, given as a note, for GB/T 17843-2025 on the terminology of ships and offshore dredgers, and clause 3 takes over the terms and definitions of ISO 8384.

Clause 4, Classification, states that dredgers are classified according to the engineering conditions, dredger parameters and operating methods specified in Tables 1, 2 and 3.

The draft prints only the opening of Table 1, Classification by Engineering Conditions, with the work area, split into inland waterways, inland ports and dredging sites, sea areas divided into ports and coastal areas, offshore and deep sea, and special environments covering tropical, frigid and other conditions, followed by the soil characteristics: silt, peat soil and organic soil, sandy soil, gravel, clay, boulders and pebbles, rocks and mixed soil.

The text then stops inside that table, so Tables 2 and 3 are not shown.

The foreword lists the changes against the 2007 edition, which include replacing the former single classification criterion with classification by engineering conditions, by dredger parameters and by operating method across the three tables, adding main performance parameters and energy to Table 1, adding partially detachable to Table 2, adding the water jet dredger to Table 3, deleting steam engine, gas turbine and nuclear power, changing fine silt to fine sand, and renaming or reclassifying a number of other entries.

The frontispiece marks the document IDT to ISO 8385:2018 and the foreword says it adopts that standard; it was proposed by and is administered by the National Technical Committee on Standardization of Marine Ships (SAC/TC12), and the foreword records that this is the second revision since the first publication in 1998.

It replaces GB/T 17383-2007, was issued on 5 October 2025 and has applied since 1 May 2026.

b) Added "Main Performance Parameters" and "Energy" (see 3 and 5 in Table 1);

c) Added "partially detachable" (see 7.2 in Table 2);

d) The terms "steam engine," "gas turbine," and "nuclear power" (items 3.1, 3.7, and 3.8 in Table 1 of the 2007 edition) have been deleted;

e) Change "fine silt" to "fine sand" (see 2.9 in Table 1);

f) Change "diesel-electric drive" to "diesel-electric" (see 4.3 in Table 2, 3.3 in Table 1 of the 2007 edition);

g) Change "diesel-hydraulic drive" to "diesel-hydraulic" (see 4.4 in Table 2, and 3.4 in Table 1 of the 2007 edition);

h) Change "non-self-propelled" to "non-self-propelled" (see 6.1 in Table 2, 4.1 in Table 1 of the 2007 edition);

i) Change "self-propelled" to "self-propelled type" (see 6.2 in Table 2, 4.2 in Table 1 of the 2007 edition);

j) Change "crewless cabins" to "no overnight cabins" (see 8.1 in Table 2, 6.1 in Table 1 of the 2007 edition);

k) Change "seat cabin" to "work cabin" (see 8.2 in Table 2, 6.2 in Table 1 of the 2007 edition);

l) Change "sleeper cabin" to "with overnight cabin" (see 8.3 in Table 2, 6.3 in Table 1 of the 2007 edition);

m) Change "locating stake" to "stake" (see 12.3 in Table 3, 9.3 in Table 1 of the 2007 edition);

n) The term "single-bucket dredger" was changed to "single-bucket dredger," and the classification was modified (see 9.1 in Table 3, and Table 1 in the 2007 edition). 10.1);

o) The classification of "grab bucket dredgers" has been changed (see 9.2 in Table 3, and 10.2 in Table 1 of the 2007 edition);
