Trailing Suction Hopper Dredge Dodge Island

equipment info from GLD&D

2001/12

The Dodge Island, loaded, en route to a disposal area off Charleston, South Carolina. The split-hull trailing suction hopper dredge Dodge Island can dispose of dredged material by bottom-dumping, but can also discharge material through its on-board pump-out system. The dredge is well suited to work in harbors and inland waterways as well as in unprotected waters. A bow thruster augments her twin-screw propulsion system. Her shallow draft and high maneuverability allow operation in relatively tight quarters. The Dodge Island is equipped with state-of-the-art dredging production and operations monitoring instrumentation and an electronic positioning system. Applications

New harbor development and improvement Maintenance of channels and harbors Beach replenishment Land reclamation Aggregates mining
