     - the Kadosh dredger equipped with the suction drag head and the dredger bucket of I-III groups by development difficulty, independently transporting excavated soil to the site of offloading, unloading soil through bottom doors from the bulge, unloading soil ashore through the forward nozzle to the shore discharge pipe, as well as by the Rainbow method with the discharge distance of about 60 meters;

     - the Sommers self-propelled holder dredger equipped with a trailing suction dredger and a clamshell intended for extracting bottom of I-III groups by development difficulty, independently transporting extracted bottom to the site of unloading, for unloading bottom through bottom doors from the bulge, for unloading bottom ashore through the forward nozzle to the shore discharge pipe, as well as by the Rainbow method with the discharge distance of about 60 meters;;

     - the Redut dredger that is a Liebher-992 hydraulic excavator mounted on a pnoton with three support pillars, equipped with three bulges of 2.7, 3.1, and 3.3 cubic meters in volume, for dredging soil of I-V groups by development difficulty;

     - the Morskaya self-propelled mud boat with the hold volume of 600 cubic meters used for transporting cultivated soil to an established area of the underwater dump and dumping it through bottom doors (hatches);

     - the Trudovaya self-propelled mud boat with the hold volume of 600 cubic meters. It is used for transporting cultivated soil to an established area of the underwater bund and dumping it through bottom doors (hatches);
