摘要：	A unique public-private partnership has resulted in the completion of a dredge that will spend its time primarily at two inlets off the coast of North Carolina.Dare County, N.C., and EJE Dredging Service, LLC partnered on the shallow-draft, split-hull hopper dredge Miss Katie. It was christened October 13 at its homeport of Wanchese, N.C. Funding for the project came from a public-private partnership with the state of North Carolina, in which the legislature allocated $15 million from the Shallow Draft Navigation Channel Dredging and Aquatic Weed Fund in 2019.The Miss Katie is owned and operated by EJE Dredging Service and will provide dredging to the county for the next 10 years at a reduced rate in return for the state loan being forgiven. The agreement includes provisions for a renewal of the contract for additional years.Conrad Shipyard built the Miss Katie at its facility in Morgan City, La. Design was by Jensen Naval Architects & Marine Engineers. Crowley Maritime served as project manager."Conrad Shipyard is proud to have built the Miss Katie for EJE Dredging Service and Dare County," Conrad Shipyard CEO and Chairman Johnny Conrad said.

We look forward to continuing to provide our quality equipment to the dredging community, coast to coast."
