Conrad Shipyard held a keel laying ceremony April 26 for Great Lakes Dredge & Dock (GLDD) Co.'s 6,500-cubic-yard trailing suction hopper dredge at its Amelia, La., shipyard. Delivery is scheduled at the end of the first quarter of 2023. The contract includes an option to build an additional dredge, should market conditions warrant. After delivery in 2023, the vessel will join the firm’s existing 6-dredge hopper fleet, which includes the ATB tug Douglas B. Mackie and 15,000-cubic-yard-capacity barge Ellis Island, which were delivered in the fourth quarter of 2017. (Source: Work Boat 04/26/21)
