Notes to answerer
Asker: Very precise point! Is it for the collection (dredging), or for the transportation and delivery of the pebbles...? Thanks for making this clear.


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Suzanne Blangsted (X): the vessel would then be called a "Dredger" or dredging vessel

  -> Thank you! But in NZ we called the vessel a "Dredge", without the "r"!
