Title
240404-A-TM125-1001
The state-of-the-art vessel DB Avalon, the largest and one of the most efficient clamshell dredges in North America, operated by Curtin Maritime, will perform the dredging and deepening work at the San Juan Bay. This vessel was designed with a fully automated dredging system and is capable of an all-electric operation, with shore-power connection, making it a true zero-emissions operation. The groundbreaking system in this vessel greatly minimizes turbidity pollution and the necessity to clean-up dig, completing depth targets faster and further reducing carbon footprint of any project.
