The Shipment of a 1,000 Ton Suction Dredger

This 1,000-ton, 36 inch marine dredger, along with its many accessories and floating power station, was a project few in the industry would take on. The tearing down reassembly and moving of a vessel of this size from a fresh water lake 50 miles in-land in central Florida was nothing less than a monumental task. This move required mega-loads that involved removing power lines, closing city streets, reinforcing numerous bridges and blocking highways to accommodate the dozens of 30 axel trailers necessary to handle the loads. This is one of the largest dredger in the world and it was successfully transported over 6,000 miles.
