摘要：	CGB/Waterfront Services has expanded operations in Cairo, Ill., and Cape Girardeau, Mo., with additional drydocks, tank barge cleaning, hull repairs, dry cargo barge cleaning, a floating crane service and small-scale topside barge repairs."We are always listening to our customers and looking for ways to better serve their needs," said Allen Tap-pan, Waterfront Services president. "These projects originated from customer feedback and fit well within our long-term growth strategy as a company. We are very excited to have these projects finally come to fruition."While the company already had two drydocks in Cairo, it has now added a third, 1,500-ton model at Ohio River Mile 979.CGB/Waterfront's newest drydock is 150 feet long and 60 feet between the wingwalls.The drydock, originally built in 2011 and put into service in 2012, came from Houma, La. Installation is designed to decrease the wait time for a drydock to help assist the industry with Subchapter M inspections and additional barge repairs, said Jer-rod George, shipyard manager."We're expecting to be able to do an additional 50 to 100 a year," he said.The drydock is the company's largest in its Cairo location. Customers can also take advantage of a 165-foot-long drydock that is 55 feet between the wingalls and a 150-foot-long drydock with 45 feet between the wingwalls.George said the drydocks provide good regional options during a time when the first vessels that received certificates of inspection (COIs) under Subchapter M will be coming up for drydock hull inspections and internal structural exams.The company has also formed a partnership with E3 Environmental to offer tank barge cleaning and hull repairs, including vessel tank cleaning and bilge pumping in Cairo.CGB/Waterfront Services cleaned its first barge in August.George said the facility is ideally located.
