In May Eastern Shipbuilding Group, Panama City, Fla., (ESG) delivered the R.B. Weeks, a 364'6"×79'6"×27'3", 8,550-cu.-yd. capacity trailing suction hopper dredge, to Weeks Marine Inc., Cranford, N.J. Despite building the vessel through the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, ESG was able to deliver the vessel on schedule. The R.B. Weeks was built at ESG's Allanton shipyard and launched in summer 2022. Weeks Marine said the new dredge represents a significant milestone for the company and is the largest capital investment in company's history, which spans over a century. "The R.B. Weeks joins an impressive fleet that works alongside the Army Corps of Engineers to preserve our treasured waterways," Joey D'Isernia, president of Eastern Shipbuilding, said when the shipyard delivered the new dredge. |
