Representatives from Eastern Shipbuilding Group and Cranford, N.J.-based Weeks Marine Inc. gathered at Easterns Allanton Shipyard, near Panama City, Fla., June 17 for the launch of the trailing suction hopper dredge R.B. Weeks. The R.B. Weeks, a sister vessel to the dredge Magdalen, is named in honor of Richard B. Weeks, co-founder of Weeks Marine. He was the husband of Magdalen Weeks. Vessel outfitting and sea trials will be based at Eastern's Port St. Joe facility, with the hopper dredge scheduled for delivery next year. "Eastern Shipbuilding Group has enjoyed a strong partnership with Weeks Marine Inc.'s team over multiple projects, and we are proud to build another dredge vessel that will enhance our waterways and restore our coastlines," said Joey Dlsernia, president of Eastern Shipbuilding Group. |
