Freedom of design creates a modern, efficient dredger
As well as the full design scope, C-Job supported MPW with specifications and mechanical integration for the majority of the dredge equipment and components used on the vessel.
Mike Hooks and MPW gave C-Job a high degree of freedom in developing the vessel design. We repaid their confidence with a modern and efficient dredge design, customized to their requirements, which meets the latest industry standards for safety, comfort, and efficiency.
The design of the Lorraine Hooks was also optimized to align with the production facilities of MPW and Southwest shipyard and operational philosophy of Mike Hooks. The dredge is equipped with an idler barge, a spud carrier system (on the dredge and idler barge), a submerged dredge pump, anchor booms, a cutter service platform, and accommodation for 35 people.
The Lorraine Hooks is a stationary dredge that will operate in brown and blue water and serve the Gulf Coast market of the United States. The vessel demonstrates C-Job’s ability to closely collaborate with suppliers and customers across the world, in order to optimize vessel design.
