摘要：	Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation (GLDD), a Houston-based dredging service provider, has announced it has exercised a contract option to build a second 6,500-cubic-yard-capacity trailing suction hopper dredge at Conrad Shipyard's Amelia, La., facility. The dredge will be a sister ship to the Galveston Island, which is currently under construction at the Amelia shipyard. Conrad laid the keel for the Galveston Island in April 2021 and expects to deliver that vessel in early 2023. The second hopper dredge will follow in early 2025. "As the leader in the U.S. dredging industry, Great Lakes continues to strategically invest in its dredging fleet," said Lasse Petterson, GLDD president and CEO. "This highly automated new-build vessel will be well-suited to multi-use applications on various project types. It will be deployed for channel deepening, maintenance dredging, beach nourishment and coastal restoration projects to meet our nation's maritime infrastructure needs. This vessel reinforces our commitment to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the robust U.S. dredging market."
