In addition to the FSRU conversion, Keppel AmFELS in the United States has been contracted to build a high-specification trailing suction hopper dredger (TSHD) for Manson Construction.
It will be the first dredger built at the Keppel AmFELS yard in Brownsville, Texas.
When completed, the dredger will have a hopper capacity of 15,000 cubic yards and will operate primarily in the Gulf Coast and Atlantic Coast of the United States.
It will be Jones Act Compliant and built to the requirements of the classification society, American Bureau of Shipping (ABS). Measuring 420ft (128m) long with a breadth of 81ft (25m) and draft of 28.5ft (8m), the TSHD will be a highly automated vessel with a diesel-electric power system.
