9/19/2023 0 Comments Great lakes dredge and dockPetterson noted that the Jones Act qualified vessel will features American-engineered and -built engines, dredge pumps, technology and dredging installations. This highly automated newbuild vessel will increase the capabilities of our hopper fleet in the coastal protection and maintenance markets as well addressing specific needs in the growing offshore wind market.” Lasse Petterson, Chief Executive Officer and President, said, “Great Lakes continues to strategically invest in its dredging fleet. Their feedback and those of the crew of which they were in close contact with were paramount to shape the design as it stands now.” From the start of this project, key members of the technical fleet managers were involved in the design process. Harry Kikkert, Project Manager at C-Job, said, “We believe the best designs come about in close collaboration with the client. In addition, the design is ballast free which will reduce investment and operational costs. This will make the vessel easy to build while still being fuel efficient. The hull shape was kept relatively simple while incorporating hydrodynamic design optimizations. The TSHD boasts two suction pipes and has been specifically designed to be easy to build, according to C-Job. Onboard accommodations include single-occupancy staterooms, a workout room and a movie theater with raised seating that doubles as a training facility. The Tier IV-compliant engines significantly reduce the vessel’s climate footprint, while other incorporated features minimize turbidity and marine species entrainment. EPA Tier IV compliant engines, and additional features designed to minimize the impact of its dredging process on the environment. The dredge will be equipped with a direct high power pump-ashore installation, dredging system automation, dynamic positioning and tracking, U.S. It will feature two 800-millimeter suction pipes and will be able to dredge at depths of up to 100 feet, with principal dimensions of approximately 346 feet in length, 69 feet in breadth and 23 feet in depth and total installed horsepower of 16,500. The new dredge will be deployed for channel deepening, maintenance dredging, beach nourishment and coastal restoration projects with short to medium distance transport requirements. location based on a regulatory-level design provided by Great Lakes’ in-house engineering department in collaboration with C-Job Naval Architects. The deal includes an option to build an additional dredge, the U.S.' largest dredging services provider said on Tuesday.Ĭonrad will perform the detail design and construct the dredges at its Amelia, La. Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation signed a contract with Conrad Shipyard for the construction of a new 6,500-cubic-yard-capacity trailing suction hopper dredge (TSHD) for scheduled delivery in the first quarter of 2023.
