摘要：	Conrad Shipyard, Morgan City, La., held a steel cutting ceremony in July for two new Damen Multi Cat vessels for Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Co. LLC (GLDD). Conrad recently signed a technical cooperation licensing agreement with the Netherlands-based Damen Shipyards Group to build the new 99'×41'×12' boats to Damen's Multi Cat 3013 design. The two vessels, which will have drafts of just over 8', will be the first Damen Multi Cats to be built in the U.S., fully compliant with Coast Guard and Corps of Engineers stability criteria. "This is a milestone moment for the US shipping industry and our company," said Lasse Patterson, GLDD's CEO. "The Multi Cats will give us the ability to dredge with enhanced operating efficiencies needed to maintain our shorelines and waterways." With its large winches and deck cranes, the Multi Cat can perform a wide range of tasks including handling submerged and floating pipelines as well as anchor handling and logistics supply. Large tank capacities onboard will ensure that the Multi Cats can also supply dredgers with the required replenishments.
