| 摘要： | A sister ship to Weeks Marine s dredge Magdalen is on the way from Eastern Shipbuilding Group's Allanton shipyard. The forthcoming dredge R.B. Weeks is expected to be delivered early next year. The R.B. Weeks will be a trailing suction hopper dredge with a hopper capacity of 8,550 cubic yards. The vessel will measure 356 feet long by 79.5 feet wide, with a draft of 27 feet 3 inches. The Royal IHC-designed dredge will be equipped with a pair of GE 16V250 MDG IMO Ⅲ/ Tier 4 main engines that drive a pair of Wartsila controllable-pitch propellers in kort nozzles. The R.B. Weeks will have accommodations for a crew of 26. "In nearly all respects, the R.B. Weeks is identical to the Magdalen," said Joey D'Isernia, president of Panama City, Fla.-based Eastern Shipbuilding Group (ESG). "The R.B. is a technical sister ship to the Magdalen, so the vast majority of the ship's designs were transferable to the Magdalen with relatively minor updates. DTsernia said those technical similarities allowed for impressive construction efficiencies. |
