American Dredging Asks
For Title XI To Build
$16-Million Dredge
The Maritime Administration
has received a Title XI application
from American Dredging Co., Del-
aware Avenue and State Streets,
P.O. Box 190, Camden, N.J., for a
Title XI guarantee to aid in fi-
nancing the construction of a 288-
foot self-propelled hopper dredge.
The dredge would be powered by
two z-drive Schottel propulsion
units rated at 5,200 brake horse-
power and would be operated in
the coastal and inland waters of
the United States by an American
Dredging Co. subsidiary as yet
unnamed.
No builder has been named but
delivery is scheduled for the fall of
1985.
If approved, the Title XI guar-
antee would cover $10,950,000 or
about 75 percent of the vessel's es-
timated actual cost of $16,050,000.
