| 摘要： | Dare County, N.C., and EJE Dredging Service took delivery of the Miss Katie, a shallow-draft 156'3"×35'×10'9" hopper dredge built at Conrad Shipyard, Morgan City, La., in August. Wanchese, N.C., is the dredge's homeport. Construction on the dredge began in March 2021. Crowley Engineering Services designed the vessel with a 9'5" draft. In 2019, Dare County approved a contract for the construction and operation of a new shallow-draft hopper dredge to address the significant shoaling that occurs in various channels and inlets throughout the county. The Miss Katie "will be a game changer for watermen in Dare County," said Dare County Board of Commissioners Chairman Bob Woodard. "It's absolutely critical that we have the resources in place to properly dredge our channels and inlets that these watermen depend on as their highway to get to work every day, and thanks to the county's partnership with EJE Dredging and the arrival of Miss Katie, we'll be much better equipped to do just that." Greenville, N.C.-based EJE Dredging owns and operates the dredge. The shallow-draft, split-hull trailing-suction dredge's main propulsion comes from twin Cummins QSK-19DM diesel engines connected to two ZF ATZ 4111-SM DA-FP stern-mounted azimuth thrusters, each featuring depth adjustment. The dredge's running speed is 10 knots. |
