Conrad Shipyard of Morgan City, La., has launched a 500-ton-capacity floating drydock for Biblia Marine Towing & Transportation of Savannah, Ga. The drydock was designed by JMS Naval Architects.Biblia owns and operates a fleet of tugs and barges, providing marine transportation, bed-leveling, agitation dredging and dragging services on the East Coast, Gulf Coast and Western Rivers of the United States. Biblia will use the drydock to service its own tugs and offer similar repair and maintenance services to other vessel owners in the area from its Savannah River facilities.The new drydock, which replaces Bib-lia's existing drydock, is 120 feet long, 60 feet wide and has a 6-foot-deep pontoon and 14-foot-high wing walls. The dock will be used primarily for hauling tugs with a maximum length of 120 feet and draft of 10 feet. The drydock design in- corporates a shore power connection, on- board generator and individual pumps. One end of the drydock is raked to facili-tate towing the dock. |
