U.S. dredging contractor Weeks Marine has placed an order with U.S. yard Eastern Shipbuilding Group to construct a trailing suction hopper dredger (TSHD).

It will be a sister ship to Magdalen, a 118m-long twin-screw dredger designed by Royal IHC, classed by Lloyd’s Register, and delivered to Weeks Marine in 2017. The new dredger, Easter Shipbuilding Group's hull no. 258, is said to be named R.B. Weeks -  in honour of Richard B. Weeks, a co-founder of Weeks Marine.

The new vessel will be constructed at Eastern’s Allanton Shipyard in Panama City, Florida. It is scheduled for delivery in early 2023.
