摘要：	An operator's investment in a new hopper dredge is a long-term commitment to a complex vessel working in an abrasive environment. Even with those headwinds, anticipated life cycle durations for modern US flagged dredges typically need to exceed 50 years with minimal downtime to achieve successful capital investment returns. Designed by Manson Construction Co. and Hockema Group (Hockema), the trailing suction hopper dredge (TH) GLENN EDWARDS has been a leading performer in the dredging industry over the past 15 years and set the trend for modern operators building large hopper capacity flagships as fundamental assets for their dredging fleets. The delivery and observed success of the GLENN EDWARDS (hopper capacity of 13,700 yd3) was followed by the construction of the hopper dredge MAGDALEN (hopper capacity of 8,550 yd3) and the articulated tug-barge ELLIS ISLAND (hopper capacity of 14,800 yd3), both delivered in 2017. With the dredging market demands continuing to outpace the existing US fleet capacities, Manson realized a new opportunity to strengthen their fleet with an advanced, high capacity TH design resulting in their latest addition, the FREDERICK PAUP.
