Eastern Shipbuilding Group Inc. (ESG) launched the 356′×79′6″×27′3″ R.B. Weeks in June, the second trailing suction hopper dredge the shipbuilder has built for Weeks Marine Inc. Designed by Royal IHC, the 8,550-cu.-yd. capacity R.B. Weeks (ESG Hull 258) is being built at ESG's Al-lanton, Ha., shipyard. The vessel will undergo outfitting and trials at Eastern's Port St. Joe, Fla., facility with delivery set for 2023. The R.B. Weeks is nearly identical to the Magdalen, delivered by ESG in 2017. The vessel includes an electrical power, propulsion, and dredge machinery package by Royal IHC, GE Tier 4 engines, along with several accommodation and crew comfort upgrades. |
