Conrad Shipyard, Morgan City, La., announced it has been awarded a contract by the Army Corps of Engineers for the design and construction of two CELRE Detroit ice-class tugboats. The vessels will provide mobilization of various pieces of floating equipment on the St. Mary’s River, upper great lakes, and the Soo Harbor, Mich., as well as breaking ice up to 12inches thick and performing ice scraping operations at the St. Mary’s Falls Canal. “Conrad has a long history with the Army Corps of Engineers, and we have built several vessels currently in service around the country,” Conrad Shipyard CEO Johnny Conrad said in a statement. “We are proud to provide the Army Corps with two more top quality vessels to service its Detroit District.” (Source: Work Boat 04/219/22)
