Manson Construction Company and Keppel AmFELS Inc. reached another on-time milestone August 2, celebrating with a keel-laying ceremony for the hopper dredge Frederick Paup. The keel-laying represents the official commencement of construction of a maritime vessel in its final build position, in this case the starboard half of Hopper Bay No. 3. The ceremony was attended by dignitaries from the shipyard and Manson, including the vessel's namesake, Fred Paup, Manson's chairman and executive vice president, who is a descendent of the company's founder, Peter Manson. "The Keppel AmFELS and Manson teams have been working well together, which is facilitated by our views on the importance of safety and quality," Paup said. "Both companies share the core values of taking care of people, doing the right thing and finding a better way. That has resulted in excellent communication and transparency throughout the build process. I would like to thank the Keppel AmFELS team and Manson's project management team for their efforts in making this dredge become a reality." |
