Seatrium has confirmed the successful handover of the FREDERICK PAUP, the largest self-propelled trailing suction hopper dredge in the United States, constructed for Manson Construction Co.

Destined for operations in Mobile, Alabama, this Jones Act-compliant vessel will play a crucial role in maintaining the nation's navigation channels, beach nourishment initiatives, and coastal restoration programs. It will further support the US Army Corps' objective of achieving a 70% beneficial reuse rate for dredged materials by the year 2030. A vessel that complies with the Jones Act is one constructed in the US, predominantly owned by US citizens, staffed primarily by a US crew, and registered under the US flag.

Measuring 420 feet long and 81 feet wide, with a capacity exceeding 15,000 cubic yards, the dredge is powered by a formidable 25,000 horsepower. It features triple azimuthing stern drives and twin bow thrusters, granting it full self-propulsion capabilities.

The FREDERICK PAUP is also outfitted with sophisticated smart features, including dynamic positioning, a comprehensive power management system, and integrated dredging systems. Completing its state-of-the-art profile are Tier 4 diesel-electric engines and an advanced hull design, both of which significantly enhance fuel efficiency and reduce harmful emissions.

Seatrium's scope of work encompassed hull fabrication, systems integration, commissioning, and final vessel completion. The company highlighted its successful management of the project's "highly intricate" component supply chain.
