摘要：	The venerable dredge McFarland's days indeed are numbered now that the Philadelphia Engineer District has awarded Panama City, Fla.-based Eastern Shipbuilding Group a firm-fixed-price contract "for the design-build of a new medium-class hopper dredge." The Philadelphia District first released draft solicitation documents for the project in January 2022. The contract award, valued at just under $257 million, was announced July 24. According to the project's contract solicitation documents, the new dredge will have a hopper capacity of 6,000 cubic yards, with the capability of discharging material through hopper doors or by pumping via pipeline. Maximum air draft of the new dredge will be 110 feet, while its maximum loaded draft will be 26 feet. The vessel will have a dredging depth range of between 35 and 65 feet. Crucial to its ready reserve role, the forthcoming dredge will have a minimum transit speed when empty of 12 knots and a minimum transit speed with the hopper full of 10 knots.
