ESG lays keel for Weeks Marine

Keel-laying for the 356-foot R.B. Weeks trailing suction hopper dredge was Sept. 11. The dredge is for Weeks Marine of Covington, La. Steel cutting began on Aug. 19 at Eastern Shipbuilding Group's (ESG) Allanton, Fla., shipyard. It will be the shipyard’s second trailing suction hopper dredge project for Weeks Marine. The Magdalen was delivered back in December 2017. The R.B. Weeks, which has accommodations for 26, is scheduled for delivery in early 2023.
