Silver Ships Inc., Theodore, Ala., recently delivered a 49' marine survey vessel to the Army Corps of Engineers in Venice, La. The 49' Tobin is custom designed for the Corps to hydrographically map the mouth of the Mississippi River. The mission-specific vessel will allow researchers to accurately and effectively obtain and document data on the rapidly changing waters in the river. With the intent of keeping waterways open and preventing obstructions to marine navigation, the Tobin is built to handle challenging river ter- rain. The vessel will conduct condition surveys of the river to enhance safety of marine operations. |
